Toxicology
Interactions
MODIFIER OF MICROSOMAL EPOXIDE HYDRASE ACTIVITY, CYCLOHEXENE OXIDE, EXERTS DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS ON CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF PURIFIED ENZYME FROM RAT LIVER. CYCLOHEXENE OXIDE INHIBITS RATE OF METAB OF BENZO(A)PYRENE 11,12-OXIDE & DIBENZO(A,H)-ANTHRACENE 5,6-OXIDE.
CYCLOHEXENE OXIDE ADMIN IP TO RATS, INHIBITED BILIARY EXCRETION OF METHYL MERCURY. THESE RESULTS PROBABLY REFLECT THE CONJUGATION OF CYCLOHEXENE TO GLUTATHIONE IN THE LIVER.
CO-ADMIN OF CYCLOHEXANE OXIDE AND CHLOROBENZENE REDUCED THE RATE OF METABOLISM OF CHLOROBENZENE AND PREVENTED HEPATIC CENTRILOBULAR NECROSIS CAUSED BY THIS COMPD IN RATS.
INDUCED LUNG HYDROXYLASES HAD KM VALUES OF 1.10 AND 0.52 IN MOUSE AND HAMSTER, RESPECTIVELY. THEY WERE STRONGLY STIMULATED BY CYCLOHEXENE OXIDE.

Applications
UsesCyclohexene oxide has been patented for use as an insecticidal fumigant. Cyclohexene oxide is an important intermediate in the organic industry. It is employed in the manufacture of medicines, pesticides, dyes, and perfumes. In addition, cyclohexene oxide can be used as a monomer in polymerization, chain-cutting agent, flame retardant and diluting agent among other uses. Cyclohexene oxide is useful as a monomer in polymerization with CO2 for production of cyclic carbonates and polycarbonates in the presence of different catalysts.
UsesIt is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, dyestuffs and in agrochemical industries. It is used in medicine. Cyclohexene oxide (epoxycyclohexane) is an useful monomer in polymerization and coating industry. It is used in the synthesis of alicyclic target materials including pharmaceuticals, perfumery and dyestuffs. It is used as a monomer in photopolymerizations, with carbonmonoxide to yield aromatic polycarbonates which has minimum impurities.
