Extra Details:
(S)-Methyloxirane is a reactant that has been used in the synthesis of (-)-Pyrenophorol, the macrolide dilactone Pyrenophorol was originally isolated from Byssochlamys niveah and Stemphylium radicinum. Pyrenophorol was moderately active against the fungus Microbotryum violaceum. It is an anti-fungal antibiotic produced by the plant pathogenic fungi Pyrenophora avenue and Stemphylium radicinum, which is closely related structurally to (-)-_x000B_Pyrenophorol. (S)-(−)-Propylene oxide undergoes ring-opening upon treating with nucleophiles such as Grignard reagents or organolithium compounds to yield corresponding secondary alcohols.[1][2] • It can be used in the synthesis of ligands to prepare of Pb(II) based coordination nets for the fabrication of white light-emitting diode materials.[1] • It is a key starting material for the total synthesis of arenolide[2] and (+)-aspicilin.[3] Synonyms: (2S)-Methyloxirane; (S)-(-)-Propylene Oxide; (-)-Methyloxirane; (-)-Propylene Oxide; (2S)-2-Methyloxirane; (2S)-Methyloxirane; (S)-(-)-Methyloxirane; (S)-(-)-Propene Oxide; (S)-(-)-Propylene oxide; (S)-2-Methyloxirane; (S)-Methyloxirane; (S)-Propene Oxide; (S)-Propylene oxide; S-(-)-1,2-Epoxypropane; l-Propylene Oxide CAS No: 16088-62-3 Molecular Formula: C₃H₆O Molecular Weight: 58.08 Appearance: Liquid Purity: ≥98% (GC) Refractive Index: n20/D 1.366 (lit.)
