(2S)-2-Ethyloxirane

CAS 30608-62-9: (2S)-2-Ethyloxirane

Description:(2S)-2-Ethyloxirane, also known as (S)-2-ethyloxirane or (S)-propylene oxide, is a chiral epoxide with the molecular formula C4H8O. This compound features a three-membered cyclic ether structure, characterized by its strained ring, which contributes to its reactivity. The presence of the ethyl group at the second carbon position imparts unique properties, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. (2S)-2-Ethyloxirane is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a mild, sweet odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its ability to undergo ring-opening reactions, which can be catalyzed by acids or bases, leading to the formation of various alcohols and other functional groups. Due to its chiral nature, (2S)-2-Ethyloxirane can be used in asymmetric synthesis, making it significant in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health hazards upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating proper handling and storage protocols.
