Density functional theory computations of the Cu-catalyzed ring expansion of vinyloxiranes is mediated by a traceless dual Cu(I)-catalyst mechanism. Overall, the reaction involves a monomeric Cu(I)-catalyst, but a single key step, the Cu migration, requires two Cu(I)-catalysts for the transformation.

(1-Chloroethenyl)oxirane (CEO) is a metabolite of beta-chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene, CD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro mutagenic and clastogenic (chromosome breaking) potential of CEO. For comparative purposes, the study also included an evaluation of the racemic

1,3-Butadiene (BTD) is an important commodity chemical and air pollutant that has been shown to be a potent carcinogen in mice, and to a lesser extent, a carcinogen in rats. To better assess butadiene's carcinogenic risk to humans, it is

1,3-Butadiene (BD) is a multisite carcinogen and is mutagenic in multiple tissues of B6C3F1 mice. BD is bioactivated to at least three directly mutagenic metabolites: 1,2-epoxybutene (EB), 1,2-epoxy-3,4-butanediol (EBD), and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB). However, the contribution of these individual metabolites to

1,3-Butadiene is metabolized mainly by cytochrome P450 2E1 to several epoxides that are considered toxic and carcinogenic. The first step of BD metabolism is oxidation to 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB), a reactive metabolite. It has been shown that P450s can be inactivated
