Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethyloxirane
DescriptionMethyloxirane, also known as 2,3-epoxypropane or propylene oxide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as epoxides. Epoxides are compounds containing a cyclic ether with three ring atoms(one oxygen and two carbon atoms). Methyloxirane is a sweet and ethereal tasting compound. Methyloxirane is a potentially toxic compound.
