Application

  • Trimethylene oxide is a strained cyclic ether which can be used to replace carbonyl / gem-dimethyl groups during molecular modelling of bioactive molecules.[1]
  • It can be incorporated in various bioactive molecule and drug substances for its improved physicochemical properties, via novel C-H activation methods.[2][3][4][5]
  • Trimethylene oxide can also be used in the synthesis of poly(trimethylene oxide) and related polymer electrolytes.[6][7][8]
