(S)-(-)-1,2-Epoxybutane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

(S)?-?(-?)?-?1,?2-?Epoxybutane is an epoxide reagent used in organic synthesis. Used in the synthesis of α-ethyltryptamines as dual dopamine-serotonin releasers.

Uses

(S)-(?)-1,2-Epoxybutane can be used:

• As a starting material to prepare (+)- and (?)-homononactic acids, which are used as intermediates in the total synthesis of a cyclic antibiotic tetranactin.
• To prepare a chiral phosphorus synthon, which is applicable in the synthesis of phytoprostane B1 type I.
• To prepare Eu³⁺-based precatalysts applicable in the Mukaiyama Aldol reaction in water.
