CAS 3760-95-0: (2R)-2-Ethyloxirane
Description:(2R)-2-Ethyloxirane, also known as (R)-2-ethyloxirane or (R)-propylene oxide, is a chiral epoxide with the molecular formula C4H8O. This compound features a three-membered cyclic ether structure, characterized by a strained ring that contributes to its reactivity. It is typically a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the epoxide functional group makes (2R)-2-ethyloxirane a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various chemicals, including alcohols and glycols. Its chirality allows for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds, which is significant in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is also known for its potential as a reactive diluent in coatings and adhesives. Safety considerations are important, as epoxides can be hazardous; thus, proper handling and storage are essential to mitigate risks associated with exposure.
