 (S)-(-)-Styrene oxide can undergo copolymerization with CO2 to form the corresponding polycarbonate in the presence of a cobalt-based catalyst system.  |  [Definition]
  ChEBI: The (S)-enantiomer of styrene oxide. |  [General Description]
 
 Styrene oxide is an oxirane derivative, which is used as a monomer for the synthesis of polyesters with relatively high?Tg values via ring-opening copolymerization. It can also be used as a useful intermediate in the preparation of levamisole, a nematocide?and anticancer agent.  |
