• Synthesis and Structural Analysis: The synthesis and structural properties of related oxirane compounds have been extensively studied. For instance, Uchiyama, Kano, and Kawashima (2003) explored the synthesis and thermolysis of pentacoordinate 1,2-oxastibetanes, revealing insights into the stereochemistry of oxirane formation and the ratios of main products under various conditions (Uchiyama, Kano, & Kawashima, 2003).
• Polymer Research: Research has also focused on the polymerization of oxiranes. Shih, Brandt, Zussman, and Tirrell (1982) discussed the synthesis of various polyether elastomers from chloroalkyloxiranes, highlighting their elastomeric properties and reactivity (Shih, Brandt, Zussman, & Tirrell, 1982).
• Fluorine Chemistry: Studies in fluorine chemistry, such as the work by Coe, Sellars, Tatlow, Fielding, and Whittaker (1985), have explored the thermal reactions of oxiranes derived from oligomers of tetrafluoroethene. This research contributes to understanding the behavior of fluorinated oxiranes under various conditions (Coe, Sellars, Tatlow, Fielding, & Whittaker, 1985).
• Chemical Reactivity and Catalysis: Investigations into the chemical reactivity of oxiranes, such as those by Sharghi and Nasseri (2003), have demonstrated their potential in regioselective ring-opening reactions, offering pathways for synthesizing biologically active molecules (Sharghi & Nasseri, 2003).
• Corrosion Inhibition: Studies on corrosion inhibition, like the research by Dagdag et al. (2019), have examined the effectiveness of epoxy monomers in preventing carbon steel corrosion, highlighting the practical applications of oxiranes in material science (Dagdag et al., 2019).
• Cryospectroscopic Analysis: Veken, Delanoye, Michielsen, and Herrebout (2010) conducted a cryospectroscopic study of pentafluoroethane complexes with oxirane, contributing to our understanding of hydrogen bonding and molecular interactions (Veken, Delanoye, Michielsen, & Herrebout, 2010) .
