(2R)-2-(4-Nitrophenyl)oxirane

Description:
(2R)-2-(4-Nitrophenyl)oxirane, also known as a nitrophenyl epoxide, is a chemical compound characterized by its epoxide functional group, which consists of a three-membered cyclic ether. The presence of the 4-nitrophenyl group introduces significant polarity and reactivity due to the electron-withdrawing nitro group, making this compound a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. The stereochemistry indicated by the (2R) designation suggests that the compound has a specific spatial arrangement, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Typically, epoxides are known for their strain and reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic ring-opening reactions, which can be facilitated by the electron-deficient nature of the nitrophenyl substituent. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety considerations should be taken into account due to the potential toxicity associated with nitroaromatic compounds.
