2-[(Phenylthio)methyl]oxirane

Description:

2-[(Phenylthio)methyl]oxirane, also known as phenylthioethyl epoxide, is a chemical compound characterized by its epoxide functional group, which is a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a phenylthio group attached to a methyl group, contributing to its unique reactivity and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the epoxide ring makes it highly reactive, particularly towards nucleophiles, which can lead to ring-opening reactions. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity can be influenced by the electronic effects of the phenylthio group, which can stabilize or destabilize the epoxide ring. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this compound, as epoxides can be irritants and potentially hazardous. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety in laboratory and industrial settings.

2-[(Phenylsulfanyl)methyl]oxirane

CAS: 5296-21-9

2-[(Phenylsulfanyl)methyl]oxirane is an unsaturated heterocyclic that can be synthesized by the reaction of ethylene and acrylonitrile on-line. The metal surface catalyzes this reaction, which is used as a corrosion inhibitor in magnesium. 2-[(Phenylsulfanyl)methyl]oxirane has been shown to inhibit insulin resistance in mice by targeting the metal salt in the body. It also inhibits hyperglycemia in diabetic mice, which may be due to its ability to bind with carboxyalkyl groups and block their interactions with insulin receptor sites.
