(R)-Glycidyl butyrate Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

(R)-Glycidyl butyrate is a reagent used in the synthesis of glycidol, a stabilizer in manufacturing of vinyl polymers; intermediate in synthesis of glycerol, glycidyl ethers, and amines; additive for oil and synthetic hydraul ic fluids; epoxy resin diluent.

Uses

(2R)-2-Oxiranylmethyl Ester Butanoic Acid is a reagent used in the synthesis of glycidol, a stabilizer in manufacturing of vinyl polymers; intermediate in synthesis of glycerol, glycidyl ethers, and amines; additive for oil and synthetic hydraulic fluids; epoxy resin diluent.

Reactions

Research demonstrate that phosphonium tetraborane Lewis pair (P4B-Br) enables the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of (R)-Glycidyl butyrate (RGB) at room temperature with a turnover number (TON) of 200, yielding α-Br/ω-OH and α-OH/ω-OH terminated poly(glycidyl butyrate) (PRGB)[4].

Synthesis

Butanoic acid, (2S)-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl ester

(R)-Glycidyl butyrate

60456-26-0

(S)-3-Chloro-1,2-propanediol 1-(n-butyrate) (50.0 g, 0.277 mol, optical purity 99% ee) was used as a raw material and dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (200 ml). Potassium tert-butoxide (32.6 g, 0.291 mol) was added to the solution under cooling conditions in an ice bath. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was transferred to a partition funnel and washed twice with water (200 ml). The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give (R)-glycidyl butyrate (28.7 g, 72.0% yield). The optical purity of the target product was 99% ee as determined by HPLC.
