2-[(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane

Description:

2-[(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane, with the CAS number 4287-30-3, is an organic compound characterized by its epoxide functional group, which is a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a phenoxy group substituted with two methyl groups at the 3 and 5 positions of the aromatic ring, contributing to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the oxirane ring indicates that it is reactive, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, making it useful in various chemical syntheses. The compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may have a distinct odor. Its solubility in organic solvents is generally good, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic moiety. 2-[(3,5-Dimethylphenoxy)methyl]oxirane is often utilized in the production of polymers, coatings, and other materials due to its reactivity and ability to form cross-linked structures. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as epoxides can be irritants and may pose health risks if not managed properly.
