Polymerization of Alkyl Glycidyl Ethers

Solvent-Free Synthesis of Glycidyl Ethers Investigating Factors Influencing the Yield of Alkyl Glycidyl Ethers

Surfactants are a widely used group of chemicals. With a range of applications from soaps to paints and from hygiene products to asphalt they are one of the most diverse product groups available. AkzoNobel in Stenungsund uses glycidyl ethers as intermediates in the productions of some of their surfactants. These glycidyl ethers are produced with some hazardous compounds, which make the handling...

Mutagenicity of aromatic glycidyl ethers with Salmonella.

6 aromatic glycidyl ethers containing naphthyl, biphenyl or benzylphenyl substituents were synthesized. These epoxides together with the commercially available compounds 2-biphenylyl glycidyl ether were examined for dose-mutagenicity relationships using the plate incorporation Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535. Structure-mutagenicity relationships were further exami...

Cationic polymerization of glycidyl ethers and furans: improved electron beam and UV cured epoxy networks

Enantioselective detoxication of optical isomers of glycidyl ethers.

The detoxication of the enantiomers of glycidyl 4-nitrophenyl ether (GNPE), (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-GNPE, and glycidyl 1-naphthyl ether (GNE), (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-GNE, by rat liver glutathione transferase and epoxide hydrolase was studied. Enantioselectivity was observed with both enzymes favoring the (R)-isomers as determined by the formation of conjugate, diol, and remaining substrate measured ...

Acyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate: precursor of alkyl ethers.

1-0-Alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate is biosynthesised in guinea pig liver mitochondria and in rat brain microsomes by direct reaction of a long chain alcohol and acyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate. ATP and Mg* are stimulatory but coenzyme A is not necessary for the reaction. 1-0-Alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate (alkyl DHAP)l was shown to be biosynthesized from long chain alcohol and DHAP with ATP...
