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 toxicity of dichloropropanols (DCPs) was investigated by hematological and blood chemical examination. Solutions of two isomers of DCPs, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (DC2P) and 2,3-dichloro-1-propanol (DC1P) were dissolved in saline at a concentration of 100 mg/ml and 0.1 ml of each was

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

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

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.
