In organic chemistry, an epoxide is a cyclic ether, where the ether forms a three-atom ring: two atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen. This triangular structure has substantial ring strain, making epoxides highly reactive, more so than other ethers. They are produced on a large scale for many applications.
Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the formula C 2 H 4 O. It is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide: a three-membered ring consisting of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. Ethylene oxide is a colorless and flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor.
Glycerol triglycidyl ether (triglycidyl glycerol) is an aliphatic organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family. [1] It has the formula C 12 H 20 O 6. [2] The CAS number is 13236–02–7. The IUPAC name is 2-[1,3-bis(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)propan-2-yloxymethyl]oxirane.
C12-C14 alcohol glycidyl ether (AGE) is an organic chemical in the glycidyl ether family. [2] It is a mixture of mainly 12 and 14 carbon chain alcohols, also called fatty alcohols that have been glycidated. It is an industrial chemical used as a surfactant but primarily for epoxy resin viscosity reduction. [3]
Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. [8] Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a ...
A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). [1] Heterocyclic organic chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic heterocycles .
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]
Phenyl glycidyl ether, is a liquid aromatic organic chemical in the glycidyl ether class of compounds. [2] It has the formula C 9 H 10 O 2. It has the CAS Registry Number 122-60-1 and the IUPAC name of 2-(phenoxymethyl)oxirane. A key use is in the viscosity reduction of epoxy resin systems. [3] [4] It is REACH registered and on EINECS under the ...
