:(R)-2-Methyl glycidol
Description:
(R)-2-Methyl glycidol, with the CAS number 86884-89-1, is a chiral epoxide compound characterized by its three-membered cyclic ether structure, which includes an epoxide functional group. This compound features a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the glycidol backbone, imparting unique stereochemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the epoxide group makes it reactive, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, which can lead to the formation of various derivatives. (R)-2-Methyl glycidol is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It is utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its chirality allows for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds, which is significant in the field of medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
