Epoxide, a cyclic ether, can be used to obtain important alcohols, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional polymers. This transformation is facilitated by the reductive ring opening of epoxide.

Many microorganisms produce secondary natural products, the potential antibiotic effects of which are extensively investigated. German scientists have now examined a class of quinone-like substances ...

Resins are natural or synthetic viscous monomers or pre-polymers with a non-crystalline and brittle texture in solid form. Epoxy resins (ERs) in particular are resins with an epoxide functional group.
