The diepoxy monomer, C 13 H 16 O 4 {DGE-Eu; systematic name: 2-[3-methoxy-4-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)benzyl]oxirane}, was synthesized from eugenol by a threestep reaction. It consists of a 1,2,4-trisubstituted benzene ring substituted by diglycidyl ether, a methoxy group and a methyloxirane group. The threemembered oxirane rings are inclined to the benzene ring by 61.0 (3) and 27.9 (3). The methylene C atom of one of the two terminal epoxide rings is positionally disordered [refined occupancy ratio = 0.69 (1):0.31 (1)]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane. The layers are linked by C-HÁ Á Á interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
