Description

2-Phenylpropylene Oxide is a chemical compound that belongs to the epoxide group. It is an activated monomer, which means it has a hydroxyl group. 2-Phenylpropylene Oxide is used in cationic polymerization reactions as well as alpha-methyl styrene, which produces polymers with high molecular weights and excellent mechanical properties. The reaction mechanism of 2-phenylpropylene oxide is oxidation of the phenyl ring to produce free radicals that react with the double bond of the epoxide ring to form an epoxy group. This process results in a mixture of products that depend on the rate and extent of the reaction. Health effects have not been fully evaluated.
