Allyl glycidyl ether
CAS 106-92-3
One small molecule can carry two reaction schedules: use one functional group now and save the other for later.
Allyl glycidyl ether contains two different reactive handles: an allyl double bond and a strained epoxide. The epoxide can undergo nucleophilic ring opening, while the alkene can enter radical or hydrosilylation chemistry. Because one group can react while the other survives, the molecule can introduce future functionality into polymers and surfaces. It is synthetic sequencing built into one reagent.
