CAS 20697-03-4: 2-(3-Methylphenyl)oxirane

Description: 2-(3-Methylphenyl)oxirane, also known as 3-Methylphenyl epoxide, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an epoxide functional group, which consists of a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a methyl group attached to the aromatic ring, specifically at the meta position relative to the epoxide group. The molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic ring-opening reactions, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. It is typically a colorless liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The compound is known for its potential applications in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, due to the presence of the epoxide group, it may exhibit biological activity, including potential toxicity, which necessitates careful handling and assessment in laboratory settings. As with many organic compounds, its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances.
