Oxirene（Cat No.:M070309）, a unique molecule in organic chemistry, is a strained ring compound with oxygen atoms bridging carbon atoms. Its structure defies conventional stability due to ring strain, making it highly reactive. Originally synthesized in 1968 by Wiberg and Walker, its fleeting existence poses challenges for detailed study. Oxirene’s reactivity stems from its strained three-membered ring, which readily participates in various organic reactions.
