Oxirane, [(2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-, (S)-

Description:

Oxirane, [(2-methoxyphenoxy)methyl]-, (S)-, also known by its CAS number 61248-99-5, is a chiral epoxide compound characterized by the presence of an oxirane ring, which is a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a methoxyphenoxy group attached to a methyl group, contributing to its unique chemical properties. The (S)- designation indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. Oxiranes are generally known for their reactivity due to the strained nature of the epoxide ring, making them useful intermediates in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of larger, more complex molecules. The presence of the methoxyphenoxy substituent may enhance solubility in organic solvents and influence the compound's biological activity. Overall, this compound's structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science, where its reactivity and stereochemistry can be strategically utilized.
