(S)-Styrene oxide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

(S)-(-)-Styrene oxide can undergo copolymerization with CO₂ to form the corresponding polycarbonate in the presence of a cobalt-based catalyst system.

Definition

ChEBI: The (S)-enantiomer of styrene oxide.

General Description

Styrene oxide is an oxirane derivative, which is used as a monomer for the synthesis of polyesters with relatively high?T_g values via ring-opening copolymerization. It can also be used as a useful intermediate in the preparation of levamisole, a nematocide?and anticancer agent.
