| Wechselwirkungen | The effect of diphenyl diselenide, (PhSe)2, administration on 2-nitropropane (2-NP)-induced hepatic damage was examined in male rats. Rats were pre-treated with a single dose of diphenyl diselenide (10, 50 or 100 micromol/kg). Afterward, they received only one dose of 2-NP (100 mg/kg bw dissolved in olive oil). The parameters that indicate tissue damage such as plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), creatinine and urea were determined. Since toxicity induced by 2-NP is related to oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation was also evaluated. Diphenyl diselenide (100 micromol/kg) significantly reduced plasma ALT, gamma-GGT, AFP levels when compared to 2-NP group. Treatment with diphenyl diselenide, at all doses, effectively protects the increase of lipid peroxidation when compared to 2-NP group. Histological examination revealed that 2-NP treatment causes a moderate swelling and degenerative alterations on hepatocytes and diphenyl diselenide (100 micromol/kg) protects against these alterations. Diphenyl diselenide (50 and 100 micromol/kg) significantly decreased the urea level. This study evidences the protective effect of diphenyl diselenide by 2-NP-induced acute hepatic damage....Three groups of male rats (control, 2-NP-treated [4 mmol/kg] and 2-NP + melatonin [10 mg/kg]) were used in the current study. Cell proliferation was quantitated by incorporation of 3H-thymidine, detected by autoradiography, into newly synthesized DNA. Histopatholgical study was carried out to investigate the morphological changes. Twenty four hours after 2-NP administration, there was an increase in the labelling index (LI) and grain count per labelled nucleus (GC/N) in the hepatocytes of 2-NP-injected rats versus those of control animals. The increase was 69.5% in LI and 29.4% in GC/N. Melatonin treatment, 30 minutes preceding 2-NP, reduced the increase in LI (44.4%) and GC/N (20.7%) when compared with 2-NP-treated rats. Histopathology revealed multiple focal areas of necrosis in the liver following 2-NP injection. In the lung, there was a mucinous degeneration of the bronchial epithelium. Melatonin treatment restored the histopathological changes in both the liver and lung and they are more or less normal. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 0.11 and 3.8(2), indicate that 2-nitropropane is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 2-nitropropane from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.19X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from a vapor pressure of 17.2 mm Hg(3) and a water solubility of 1.70X10+4 mg/L(4). 2-Nitropropane is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon the estimated vapor pressure(3). Half-lives of 2-nitropropane measured during aerobic batch laboratory microcosm experiments were 0.66 days in an acid clay soil (0.94% OC, pH 4.8) and 0.5 days in a basic sandy loam soil (3.25% OC, pH 7.8)(5,6). However, experiments were not corrected for potential loss due to volatilization(5,6). Biodegradation in soil is expected to be slow based on 3.0 and 1.2% conversion to CO2 in aerobic and anaerobic soil, respectively, after 35 days(7,8).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 0.11 and 3.8(2), indicate that 2-nitropropane is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.19X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from a vapor pressure of 17.2 mm Hg(4) and a water solubility of 1.70X10+4 mg/L(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 6 hours and 6 days, respectively(SRC). The pKa of 2-nitropropane is 7.68(6), indicating that this compound will partially exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(7). According to a classification scheme(8), BCF values of <8.4(9,10), suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation in water is expected to be slow based on 0.8% mineralization after 5 days using activated sludge and 0.1-14% degradation in 28 day closed-bottle test(9-11).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-nitropropane, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 17.2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-nitropropane is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 95 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.60X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). 2-Nitropropane is expected to undergo direct photolysis in the atmosphere based on 95% degradation after 24 hours and a half-life of 9.8 days measured during tests for photodegradation(4,5). |

| Ökotoxizitätsauszüge | /AQUATIC SPECIES/ At 22 °C the 96-hr LC50 for fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) was >210 mg/L. Aeration of the holding tanks during the toxicity test produced flawed results because 2-NP was lost continuously by volatilization and a nominal highest concentration of 612.5 mg/L was reduced to 496 mg/L at the start of the test and to 210 mg/L by 96 hr. There was no significant mortality at concentrations of 2-NP below 210 mg/L although at lower concentrations it did produce severe (though undescribed) sublethal effects./AQUATIC SPECIES/ The lowest concentration of 2-NP in sea water inducing narcosis in barnacle larvae at 18-22 °C was approximately 0.7-0.8 g/L./OTHER TERRESTRIAL SPECIES/ Observations on non-mammalian terrestrial organisms are limited to two related species, the oriental fruit fly (Dacus dorsalis) and the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata). ... The 2-hr LC50 values for eggs and larvae of the oriental fruit fly were >103 and 75 g/cu m (>28,300 and 20,600 ppm), respectively, and for the Mediterranean fruit fly, >103 and 35 g/cu m (>28,300 and 9600 ppm), respectively. These observations, in summary, suggest a fairly low acute toxicity to non-mammalian organisms. |

Anwendungen & Verwendung
Beschreibung
2-Nitropropane, also known as dimethylnitromethane or isonitropropane, is a colourless, oily liquid with a mild and sweet odour. This flammable compound is soluble in water and various organic solvents, including chloroform. Its vapors can form an explosive mixture when combined with air. 2-Nitropropane serves as a co-solvent in paint formulations, enhancing pigment wetting, optimizing flow properties, and facilitating electrostatic processing. Additionally, it contributes to a shorter paint drying time.
Verwenden
2-Nitropropane is primarily used as a solvent for organic compounds and coatings; with vinyl resins, epoxy paints, nitrocellulose, and chlorinated rubber; in printing inks, adhesives, and printing as flexographic inks; maintenance with traffic markings on roads and highways; shipbuilding; and general maintenance. It also has limited use as a paint and varnish remover. 2-Nitropropane is also used as a solvent in food processing industries for fractionation of a partially saturated vegetable oil.
Herstellung & Synthese

The synthesis of 2-nitropropane can be accomplished directly by nitration of 2-halopropanes with sodium nitrite. With 2-iodopropane, the reaction is carried out in dry DMF in the presence of urea. For the slower reacting 2-bromopropane, a longer reaction time and the presence of phloroglucinol as a nitrite ester scavenger is required.Like 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane is also produced by vapor-phase nitration of propane with nitric acid at elevated temperature and pressure (Baker and Bollmeier 1978).
