(S)-2-(2-bromoethyl)oxirane; CAS No.: 61847-07-2; (S)-2-(2-bromoethyl)oxirane. PROPERTIES: This bromo-substituted oxirane has molecular formula C4H8BrO. It generally appears as a colorless liquid. The (S)-2-(2-bromoethyl)oxirane demonstrates moderate solubility in water and good solubility in common organic solvents like ether and acetone. Its boiling point ranges between 110-115 C, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 152.01 g/mol. When handling, explosion-proof equipment should be used due to the presence of the bromo group, and operations should be conducted in a explosion-proof fume hood. Storage requires a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from heat sources and ignition points. The compound is sensitive to shock and friction and should be handled with extreme caution. In case of fire, use carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers; water may propagate the fire. APPLICATIONS: The (S)-2-(2-bromoethyl)oxirane serves as a synthetic intermediate in the production of antibacterial agents targeting multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria where the bromo group is involved in cross-linking bacterial cell walls (as reported in antimicrobial research literature). The oxirane ring provides essential reactivity for forming covalent bonds. Additionally, the compound functions as a building block in the synthesis of nonlinear optical materials with second harmonic generation efficiencies exceeding 1.5 times that of urea, as described in materials science publications. The bromo group can be further replaced or functionalized to produce various derivatives for specialized applications in chemical research.
