:2-[2-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethyl]oxirane
Description:
2-[2-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethyl]oxirane, also known as a chlorinated epoxide, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an epoxide functional group and a chlorophenyl substituent. The molecular structure features a three-membered cyclic ether (the oxirane) that is highly reactive due to the strain in the ring, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. The presence of the 4-chlorophenyl group enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may have a distinct odor. It is important to handle it with care due to potential toxicity and reactivity, particularly in the presence of nucleophiles, which can lead to ring-opening reactions. The compound's applications may include use in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling and disposal guidelines, as well as potential health effects associated with exposure.
