Oxiraneethanol, (2R)-

Description:

Oxiraneethanol, also known as (2R)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)oxirane, is a chemical compound characterized by its epoxide functional group, which is a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon chain, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. The presence of the epoxide ring makes it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, allowing for ring-opening reactions that can lead to the formation of larger, more complex molecules. Oxiraneethanol is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the hydroxyl group, which enhances its polarity. Its chemical properties include the ability to undergo nucleophilic attack, making it useful in the production of polymers, surfactants, and other functionalized compounds. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this substance, as epoxides can be reactive and may pose health risks if not managed properly. Overall, Oxiraneethanol is an important compound in the field of organic chemistry and industrial applications.
