Oxiranol is an organic chemical that is an alcohol derivative of oxirane: it consists of a hydroxy group as substituent on ethylene oxide. It can have two enantiomeric forms. The compound has been proposed as an intermediate in the interstellar formation of glycolaldehyde^[1] (a constitutional isomer of oxiranol) and the oxidation of acrolein in the environment.^[2]
