oksiraaniyksiköitä
Oksiraaniyksiköitä, known in English as oxirane units, are a fundamental concept in organic chemistry and polymer science. They refer to the cyclic ether functional group consisting of a three-membered ring containing one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. This structure, also known as an epoxide, is highly strained due to the bond angles within the ring.
The reactivity of oxirane units is a direct consequence of this ring strain. The strained ring is
Oxirane units are also important intermediates in various organic synthesis pathways. They can be formed through
