Until now, no data are available concerning the biotransformation and toxicity of 2-methylpropene (or isobutene), a gaseous alkene widely used in industry (rubber, fuel additives, plastic polymers, adhesives, antioxidants). In this work, the biotransformation of 2-methylpropene (MP) has been studied

2-Methylpropene (isobutene), a gaseous compound widely used in chemical industries, is metabolized to the epoxide 2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane. The parent compound has previously been shown to be non-mutagenic in a modified Ames test, whereas the epoxide metabolite gave a positive result. In

The biotransformation of 2-methylpropene, a gaseous alkene widely used in industry, was investigated in vitro in liver tissue of rats, mice, and humans. Interspecies comparison revealed that the lowest levels of the primary epoxide metabolite were detected in incubations of

Protonated epoxides feature prominently in organic chemistry as reactive intermediates. Herein, we describe 10 protonated epoxides using B3LYP, MP2, and CCSD/6-311++G calculations. Relative to CCSD, B3LYP consistently overestimates the C2-O bond length. Protonated 2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane is the most problematic species studied

The mutagenic properties of 2-methylpropene (MP) and 2-methyl-1,2- epoxypropane (MEP) were investigated in the Salmonella assay. A simple exposure system, consisting of gastight tissue culture flasks, was used. This method has the advantage that the volatile test chemical is present
