7-Oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptan-2-one (CAS: 15687-29-7) is a strained bicyclic ketone featuring an epoxide ring fused to a cyclohexane system. Synthesized via photooxygenation of norbornadiene or Diels-Alder cycloaddition, its molecular formula is C7H10O2. This intermediate serves as a critical scaffold for constructing complex polycyclic architectures in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent ring-opening polymerization. Handle in fume hoods due to potential respiratory sensitization; wear chemical-resistant PPE to avoid skin contact and ocular irritation.
