Epoxide, a cyclic ether, can be used to obtain important alcohols, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional polymers. This transformation is facilitated by the reductive ring opening of epoxide.

Evolution of processes for PO production from propylene. The past chlorohydrin process (1), the current co-oxidation (2), HPPO (3) and CHPPO (4) processes, as well as the future aerobic epoxidation ...

Epoxidation, the chemical conversion of unsaturated bonds in vegetable oils and fatty compounds into oxirane rings, represents a pivotal reaction in the sustainable transformation of renewable ...

Can making ephemeral anti-inflammatory fatty acids stick around a little longer protect people against Alzheimer’s disease? It just might, according to a study by Hui Zheng and colleagues at the ...

Epoxides belong to a class of organic compounds called “cyclic ethers” that are characterized by a three-atom ring. They are readily available compounds found in medicinal and agrochemical agents, as ...
