CAS 20780-53-4

(+)-Styrene oxide

Description:

(+)-Styrene oxide, with the CAS number 20780-53-4, is a cyclic ether derived from styrene, characterized by its epoxide functional group. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a distinctive sweet, aromatic odor. It is known for its reactivity due to the strained three-membered epoxide ring, which makes it susceptible to nucleophilic attack and opens up pathways for various chemical reactions, including ring-opening polymerization and reactions with nucleophiles. (+)-Styrene oxide is used in the synthesis of various chemicals and polymers, and it can also serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its physical properties include a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. Safety considerations are important, as it is classified as a potential irritant and may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to mitigate any hazards associated with this compound.
