Oxirane, [4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, (2R)-

Description:

Oxirane, [4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-, (2R)-, also known as a chiral epoxide, is a chemical compound characterized by its three-membered cyclic ether structure, which includes an oxirane ring. The presence of a trifluoromethyl group at the para position of the phenyl ring significantly influences its chemical properties, enhancing its reactivity and polarity. This compound is typically colorless and may exhibit a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic characteristics. The (2R)- configuration indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can affect its biological activity and interactions with other molecules. Oxiranes are known for their ability to undergo ring-opening reactions, making them valuable intermediates in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it may be toxic and reactive, necessitating appropriate precautions to avoid exposure.
