It can be used to synthesize biologically active compounds, such as drugs, pesticides and optically active molecules important in organic synthesis. In addition, it can also be used in the fields of synthetic polymers, surfactants and coatings.
Method:
(S)-(-)-1,2-epoxybutane can be prepared by oxidation of (S)-(-)-2-bromobutane. Specifically, (S)-(-)-2-bromobutane is first reacted with benzoyl bromide peroxide (PhCOOBr) to give (S)-(-)-1,2-epoxybutane as the main product. In this process, it is necessary to use an appropriate solvent and catalyst to promote the reaction.
Safety Information:
(S)-(-)-1,2-epoxybutane has the risk of combustion, avoid contact with strong oxidants, strong acids and strong bases. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including goggles and gloves, when using or handling the compound. Avoid inhaling its vapors. In order to avoid potential health hazards, it should be operated in a well-ventilated area. If vapors are inhaled, immediately stay away from the scene and seek medical attention.
