Description

Application

• (S)-(−)-Propylene oxide undergoes ring-opening upon treating with nucleophiles such as Grignard reagents or organolithium compounds to yield corresponding secondary alcohols.
• 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.
• It is a key starting material for the total synthesis of arenolide and (+)-aspicilin.
