2-(3-Chlorophenyl)oxirane

Description:

2-(3-Chlorophenyl)oxirane, also known as a chlorinated epoxide, is an organic compound characterized by its epoxide functional group, which consists of a three-membered cyclic ether. The presence of the 3-chlorophenyl group indicates that a chlorine atom is substituted on the aromatic ring, influencing the compound's reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically exhibits a relatively low boiling point and is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Its structure allows for potential electrophilic reactions, making it useful in various synthetic applications, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The chlorine substituent can enhance the compound's biological activity and lipophilicity, affecting its interaction with biological systems. As with many epoxides, 2-(3-Chlorophenyl)oxirane may pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation, and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in a controlled laboratory environment.
