Oxiraneheptanoic acid, 3-(hydroxymethyl)-, methyl ester, trans-

Description:

Oxiraneheptanoic acid, 3-(hydroxymethyl)-, methyl ester, trans- is a chemical compound characterized by its unique structure that includes an oxirane (epoxide) ring and a heptanoic acid moiety. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group at the third carbon of the heptanoic acid chain, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The methyl ester functional group indicates that it is an ester, which typically enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its biological activity. The "trans" designation suggests a specific geometric configuration around the oxirane ring, which can affect the compound's physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity. This compound may be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science, due to its potential as a building block for more complex molecules or as an intermediate in chemical reactions. However, specific safety and handling information should be consulted, as with any chemical substance.
