(2R)-2-Ethenyloxirane

Description:
(2R)-2-Ethenyloxirane, also known as (R)-propylene oxide, is a chiral epoxide with the molecular formula C3H6O. It is characterized by a three-membered cyclic ether structure, which includes an oxygen atom and two carbon atoms, one of which is part of a vinyl group. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and is known for its reactivity due to the strained epoxide ring, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. It participates in various chemical reactions, including ring-opening reactions with nucleophiles, which can lead to the formation of alcohols and other functional groups. (2R)-2-Ethenyloxirane is also significant in the production of polyether polyols and is utilized in the manufacture of antifreeze and other industrial products. Its chiral nature allows for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds, which is valuable in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health hazards upon exposure, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
