2-Undecyloxirane
2-Undecyloxirane (1,2-Epoxytridecane) is a chemical reagent featuring an epoxy group on a C11 chain. The epoxy group undergoes ring opening in the presence of nucleophiles to form a branched structure containing a secondary alcohol. Compounds such as this may be used as intermediates in building lipids for use in lipid nanoparticles.
