Description

General description

Glycidol or 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol is a highly reactive epoxy derivative, which is generally used as a monomer in the preparation of many polymers like polyesters, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, and polyamides. It is also used in the preparation of detergents, rubbers, perfumes, fabric dyes, varnishes, cosmetics, and paints.

Application

Employed in the synthesis of chiral (E)-allylic alcohol side-chains for introduction into prostacyclin and prostaglandin frameworks by cross-metathesis.
