:1-(oxiran-2-yl)ethanone
Description:
1-(Oxiran-2-yl)ethanone, also known as glycidyl acetone, is an organic compound characterized by its epoxide functional group and a ketone moiety. It features a three-membered cyclic ether (the oxirane or epoxide) attached to an acetone group, which contributes to its reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its ability to undergo ring-opening reactions, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the production of polymers and resins. The presence of both the epoxide and carbonyl groups allows for diverse reactivity, including nucleophilic attacks and polymerization. 1-(Oxiran-2-yl)ethanone is also considered a potential intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. However, it should be handled with care due to its reactivity and potential health hazards, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
