Ref. 3D-FT78314

Product Information

• Name: 2-(Trifluoromethyl)Oxirane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(Trifluoromethyl)Oxirane is an acidic, nucleophilic molecule that is a kinetic epoxide. It is a chiral molecule with two enantiopure and diastereomeric forms. Its nucleophilic attack on the ring of cholesterol ester leads to the formation of 3-hydroxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydrobenzopyran. This compound can be synthesized in preparative quantities and its stereoselective synthesis may be achieved by employing a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction.
