General description

2-Nitropropane can be converted to mutagenic metabolites by human SULT1A1.

Application

2-Nitropropane was used to prepare 5,5-Dimethylpyrroline N-oxide and 5,5-di(trideuteromethyl)pyrroline N-oxide. It was also used to determine the concordance of results for a pair of structural isomers, 2-nitropropane (2-NP) and 1-nitropropane (1-NP).

5,5-Dimethylpyrroline N-oxide (15N) and 5,5-di(trideuteromethyl)pyrroline N-oxide were synthesized from the respective isotopically labeled 2-nitropropane analogs obtained from the reaction of sodium nitrate with 2-halopropanes. This facile, straightforward process allows synthesizing isotopically labeled DMPO analogs in a 4-step reaction without special
