3-Oxetanone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid

Uses

3-Oxetanone is used as a starting material for the preparation of other oxetanes compounds, which are of pharmacological interest. It is also considered as an object for theoretical studies.

Uses

3-Oxetanone can be used to synthesize:

• Various oxetane-containing lead compounds with improved solubility, reduced lipophilicity and amphiphilicity.
• (Hydroxymethyl)oxazoles and (hydroxymethyl)thiazoles via single-step microwave mediated reaction with primary amides and thioamides, respectively.
• Oxetane containing spirocycles through thermal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with α-amino acids or secondary α-amino acid esters.

General Description

Product may polymerize over time during storage.
