 Employed in the synthesis of chiral (E)-allylic alcohol side-chains for introduction into prostacyclin and prostaglandin frameworks by cross-metathesis.  |  [Definition]
  ChEBI: (S)-glycidol is a glycidol. It is functionally related to a (S)-1,2-epoxypropane. It is an enantiomer of a (R)-glycidol. |  [General Description]
 
 Glycidol or 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol is a highly reactive epoxy derivative, which is generally used as a monomer in the preparation of many polymers like polyesters,?polycarbonates,?polyurethanes,?and polyamides. It is also used in the preparation of detergents, rubbers, perfumes, fabric dyes, varnishes, cosmetics, and paints.  |  [Purification Methods]
