  2. Ethylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

    This places ethylene oxide 14th most produced organic chemical, whereas the most produced one was ethylene with 113 Mt (125 million short tons). [79] SRI Consulting forecasted the growth of consumption of ethylene oxide of 4.4% per year during 2008–2013 and 3% from 2013 to 2018. [78]

  3. Epoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxide

    A compound containing the epoxide functional group can be called an epoxy, epoxide, oxirane, and ethoxyline. Simple epoxides are often referred to as oxides. Thus, the epoxide of ethylene (C 2 H 4) is ethylene oxide (C 2 H 4 O). Many compounds have trivial names; for instance, ethylene oxide is called "oxirane".

  4. Tetrahydropyran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydropyran

    Oxanes are the class of hexic cyclic ether rings with tetrahydropyran as the root chemical. Oxanes have one or more carbon atoms replaced with an oxygen atom. [8] The IUPAC preferred name for tetrahydropyran is now oxane. [9] Oxane is also the brand name for cis-2-methyl-4-propyl-1,3-oxathiane, a commercial fragrance. [10]

  5. Epoxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

    Cycloaliphatic epoxides are characterised by their aliphatic structure, high oxirane content and the absence of chlorine, which results in low viscosity and (once cured) good weather resistance, low dielectric constants and high T g. However, aliphatic epoxy resins polymerize very slowly at room temperature, so higher temperatures and suitable ...

  6. Tetrahydrofuran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrofuran

    Chemical structure of annonacin, an acetogenin. Eribulin (brand name: Halaven), a commercial THF-containing anticancer drug. The tetrahydrofuran ring is found in diverse natural products including lignans, acetogenins, and polyketide natural products. [26] Diverse methodology has been developed for the synthesis of substituted THFs. [27]

  7. Oxidation with dioxiranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_with_dioxiranes

    Epoxidations using isolated dioxirane (e.g. DMD or TFD) avoid the need for aqueous buffering. The volatile dioxiranes DMD and TFD can be isolated via distillation. Once isolated, dioxiranes are can be kept in solutions of the corresponding ketones and dried with molecular sieves.

  8. Epichlorohydrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epichlorohydrin

    In the process developed by Dow Chemical, glycerol undergoes two substitution reactions when treated with hydrogen chloride in the presence of a carboxylic acid catalyst. This is the same intermediate formed in the allyl chloride/hypochlorous acid process, and is likewise then treated with base to form epichlorohydrin.

  9. Propylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_oxide

    This technology was commercialized by Sumitomo Chemical. [11] Hydrogen peroxide is the oxidant in the hydrogen peroxide to propylene oxide (HPPO) process, catalyzed by a titanium-doped silicalite: C 3 H 6 + H 2 O 2 → C 3 H 6 O + H 2 O; In principle, this process produces only water as a side product. In practice, some ring-opened derivatives ...
