ETHYL (S)-3,4-EPOXYBUTANOATE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Mainly employed inorganic synthesis. They are starting materials for the condensation reactions. Homoallylic alcohol is readily available from the regiospecific ring opening of commercially available ethyl (S)-oxiranyl acetate with the cuprate derived from vinylmagnesium bromide and copper bromide-dimethyl sulfide complex in 88 % yield.

Hazard

Causes skin irritation. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation.

storage

Air Sensitive. Store in cool place. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store away from strong oxidizing agents, excess heat, air. Store at 2-8°C.
