What is BENZYL GLYCIDYL ETHER?

The Uses of BENZYL GLYCIDYL ETHER

[(Phenylmethoxy)methyl]oxirane, is a Glycidol (G615700) derivative. It is also shown that analougues of Phenyl Glycidyl Ether has in Vivo skin sensitizing potency, and is able to induce Nrf2-Dependent Luciferase Activity in the KeratinoSens.

General Description

Benzyl glycidyl ether is a glycidyl derivative. Rac-/(R)-benzyl glycidyl ether participates in the synthesis of atactic and isotactic linear poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s. Biocatalytic resolution of racemic benzyl glycidyl ether by Talaromyces flavus has been described. Resolution of benzyl glycidyl ether to (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether with 30% ee and (R)-3-benzyloxypropane-1,2-diol with 40% ee by whole Bacillus alcalophilus cells has been reported. It reacts with K^-, K⁺(15-crown-5)₂to afford potassium glycidoxide and bibenzyl.
