Description

Oxirane, 2,2-Dimethyl-3-(2-Propenyl)- (9Ci) is a specialized epoxide compound, also known as 2-Allyl-2-methyloxirane. This chemical is valued for its reactive oxirane ring and the presence of an allyl group, making it a versatile building block for synthesizing more complex molecules. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical intermediate, and polymer modification sectors. Its structure allows for ring-opening reactions and further functionalization, enabling the development of novel materials and active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the multi-step synthesis of potential active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), leveraging its epoxide functionality for selective reactions.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a cross-linking agent or comonomer to introduce reactive sites or alter the physical properties of specialty polymers and epoxy resins.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing surfactants, plasticizers, and other performance chemicals where the allyl and epoxide groups provide unique reactivity.
• Agrochemical Research: Employed in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators that require specific epoxide-based molecular architectures.
• Adhesive & Coating Formulations: Incorporated into formulations to enhance adhesion, flexibility, or chemical resistance through its ability to form covalent bonds.
• Chemical Cross-linking Studies: Utilized in academic and industrial research to study ring-opening polymerization kinetics and the development of new polymeric networks.

Quality Control

Our production of Oxirane, 2,2-Dimethyl-3-(2-Propenyl)- adheres to stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial use. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
