2-(3-Bromophenyl)oxirane

Description:

2-(3-Bromophenyl)oxirane, also known as a brominated epoxide, is a chemical compound characterized by its epoxide functional group and a bromophenyl substituent. The presence of the epoxide group indicates that it is a three-membered cyclic ether, which is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic ring-opening reactions. The bromine atom on the aromatic ring enhances the electrophilicity of the epoxide, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 2-(3-Bromophenyl)oxirane can be utilized in various applications, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. However, like many brominated compounds, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal in accordance with safety regulations.
