General description

2,3-Dichloro-1-propanol belongs to the group of chloropropanols. Inhibitory effects of 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol on T cell both in vivo and in vitro is reported. Improved enantioselective resolution of (R,S)-2,3-dichloro-1-propanol to (S)-2, 3-dichloro-1-propanol by whole cells of a recombinant Escherichia coli in n-heptane-aqueous biphasic system is reported.

Application

2,3-Dichloro-1-propanol may be employed as carbon and energy supplement for the growth of Pseudomonas putida strain (MC4).

A rare outbreak of acute hepatic damage in workers exposed to dichloropropanols was reported in 1992. As there are no detailed reports of dichloropropanols (DCPs) toxicity and its mechanism, we reviewed the toxicity of dichloropropanols using our results. 1) A

The enantioselective resolution of (R,S)-2,3-dichloro-1-propanol ((R,S)-DCP) to (S)-DCP by whole cells of a recombinant Escherichia coli expressing halohydrin dehalogenase (HHDH) activity was limited by product inhibition. To solve this problem to improve the productivity of (S)-DCP, an n-heptane-aqueous biphasic system

Epoxides are widely used chemicals, the determination of which is of paramount importance. Herein, we present an enzyme-based approach for noninstrumental detection of epoxides in standard solution and environmental samples. Halohydrin dehalogenase (HheC) as a biological recognition element and epichlorohydrin

We investigated the toxicity of dichloropropanols (DCPs) in hematological findings and serum chemistry. The solutions of two isomers of DCPs, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (DC2P) and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol (DC1P) were dissolved in saline at the concentration of 100 mg/ml, and 0.1 ml of each
