CAS 2167-38-6

:

Oxetane, 3-methyl-

Description:
3-Methyloxetane, with the CAS number 2167-38-6, is a cyclic ether characterized by a four-membered ring structure containing one oxygen atom and three carbon atoms, with a methyl group attached to one of the carbon atoms. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a distinctive, sweet odor. It is known for its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, which is typical for small cyclic ethers. 3-Methyloxetane is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of specialty chemicals and polymers. Its reactivity is influenced by the strain in the four-membered ring, making it susceptible to ring-opening reactions under certain conditions. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use and storage.
