Description
styrene oxide is also known as epoxystyrene or 1-phenyloxirane. styrene oxide is a secondary metabolite.

In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on styrene oxide.
