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).

The effect of aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibition by cyanamide pre-treatment in vitro on dichloropropanol-dependent toxicity and glutathione depletion was investigated in 24 h rat hepatocyte cultures. Cyanamide pre-treatment had no effect on nitrophenol hydroxylase, 7-methoxy-, 7-ethoxy- or 7-benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylase activities in

The conformational stability and the three rotor internal rotations in 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol were investigated at DFT-B3LYP/6-311+G**, MP2/6-311+G** and MP4(SDQ) levels of theory. From the calculated potential energy surface, ten distinct minima were located all of which were predicted to have real

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
