Oxetan-3-one is a molecule that can be synthesized by the reaction of an acid chloride with a ketone. It has been used in the asymmetric synthesis of natural products. The process is conducted at low temperatures, which prevents polymerization and decomposition of the product. Oxetan-3-one has been shown to be able to react with phosphorus pentoxide, forming an intermediate that can undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. This reaction mechanism leads to the formation of oxetane or oxetene rings in organic compounds. Oxetan-3-ones have high affinity for antibodies and are used in monoclonal antibody production. They also bind to cells due to their high polarity and ability to hydrogen bond with water molecules, which makes them ideal for use as flow systems in biotechnological processes such as cell culture and protein crystallization.
