(S)-Styrene oxide

Description:

(S)-Styrene oxide, with the CAS number 20780-54-5, is a chiral epoxide derived from styrene. It is characterized by its cyclic ether structure, which includes a three-membered ring containing an oxygen atom. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor, and it is known for its reactivity due to the strained epoxide ring, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. (S)-Styrene oxide exhibits optical activity, as it is one of the enantiomers of styrene oxide, and its specific configuration can influence the outcome of reactions in asymmetric synthesis. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The compound is utilized in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and can participate in ring-opening reactions under acidic or basic conditions. Safety precautions are necessary when handling (S)-Styrene oxide, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
