(3,3-Dimethyloxiranyl)methanol（Cat No.:M081808）, also known as 1-(hydroxymethyl)-3,3-dimethyloxirane, is an epoxide-containing alcohol valued as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Featuring a strained three-membered oxirane ring and a reactive hydroxymethyl group, it participates readily in ring-opening and substitution reactions. Its bifunctional nature enables its use in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty polymers. The compound is typically a colorless liquid, soluble in polar organic solvents, and must be handled carefully due to the reactivity of the epoxide ring under acidic or basic conditions.
