Product Information
2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)oxirane is a cyclic epoxide, which is synthesized by the ring-opening of 2-aminoethanol and olefin. The counterion in this reaction can be sodium or ammonium. In the case of ammonium, the product is an ammonium salt. The stereoselectivity of this reaction depends on the stereochemistry of the starting materials, which determines whether the product will be (E)- or (Z)-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)oxirane. This compound has affinity for nucleophiles such as ammonia and hydroxide ion. It also has catalytic activity for nucleophilic substitution reactions such as alkylations and acylations, in addition to its ability to modulate reactions with strong acid and strong base components.
2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)oxirane is used in synthetic chemistry to produce epoxy resins and
