Description

Oxiran-2-Yl(Phenyl)Methanol is a versatile epoxide derivative, also known as Phenyl Glycidyl Ether, valued for its reactive oxirane ring and aromatic functionality. This compound serves as a crucial building block and reactive intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of both epoxy and benzylic alcohol moieties. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for the development of active ingredients, fine chemicals, and epoxy resin modifiers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key synthon for the production of β-blockers, chiral ligands, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Epoxy Resin Modifier: Acts as a reactive diluent or flexibilizer to modify the viscosity and mechanical properties of epoxy resin systems.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor for dyes, pigments, and other high-value specialty chemicals.
• Crosslinking Agent: Utilized in coatings, adhesives, and composite materials to introduce crosslinks and enhance performance.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic methodologies and material science applications.

Quality Control

Our Oxiran-2-Yl(Phenyl)Methanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
