Ethyl (2R)-2,3-epoxypropanoate is a chiral epoxy ester used as a key intermediate in asymmetric synthesis. It is typically produced via enantioselective oxidation of ethyl acrylate. Molecular Formula: C5H8O3, CAS No: 106954-76-3.
Store under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures below 25°C to prevent polymerization. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential skin sensitization and respiratory irritation. Do not use in direct human consumption applications without final formulation validation.
