(2R)-2-[(1-Naphthalenyloxy)methyl]oxirane

Description:

(2R)-2-[(1-Naphthalenyloxy)methyl]oxirane, identified by its CAS number 56715-28-7, is a chiral epoxide compound characterized by the presence of an oxirane ring, which is a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a naphthalenyl group attached via a methylene bridge to the oxirane, contributing to its unique structural and chemical properties. The presence of the naphthalenyl moiety imparts significant hydrophobic characteristics, while the epoxide functionality allows for reactivity typical of epoxides, such as ring-opening reactions under nucleophilic conditions. The chirality at the 2-position of the oxirane suggests that it may exhibit specific stereochemical behavior in reactions and interactions with biological systems. This compound may be of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and materials science, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Its stability, reactivity, and potential applications can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other reactants.
