相互作用Alkyl ether-degrading Rhodococcus sp. strain DEE5151, isolated from activated sewage sludge, has an activity for the oxidation of a variety of alkyl ethers, aralkyl ethers and dibenzyl ether. The whole cell activity for diethyl ether oxidation was effectively inhibited by 2,3-dihydrofurane, ethyl vinyl ether and glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde of less than 30 uM inhibited the activity by a competitive manner with the inhibition constant, K(I) of 7.07+/-1.36 uM. The inhibition type became mixed at higher glutaraldehyde concentrations >30 uM, probably due to the inactivation of the cell activity by the Schiff-base formation. Structurally analogous ethyl vinyl ether inhibited the diethyl ether oxidation activity in a mixed manner with decreasing the apparent maximum oxidation rate, v(max)(app), and increasing the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant, K(M)(app). The mixed type inhibition by ethyl vinyl ether seemed to be introduced not only by the structure similarity with diethyl ether, but also by the reactivity of the vinyl ether with cellular components in the whole cell system.1. In rats, surgically anesthetized with Urethane, an increase in the depth of anesthesia upon administration of ethyl carbamate (Urethane), pentobarbitone sodium (Nembutal), thiopentone sodium (Intraval), althesin, ketamine, trichloroethylene, halothane, methoxyflurane, diethyl ether, ethyl-vinyl ether, cyclopropane, enflurane or chloroform resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the latency, the decrease in the amplitudes of the initial positive and negative components of the short latency cortical response to electrical stimuli applied to the forepaw. 2. The same changes were seen when starting from initially unanesthetized rats and anesthetizing them with Urethane. 3. With all the inhalational agents used, these changes lasted for as long as the administration except with nitrous oxide where the changes in the cortical response were transient. 4. The tranquilizing agents diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, and haloperidol showed no such action. Chloral hydrate and chlorpromazine, on the other hand, produced moderate changes in the evoked cortical response similar to those seen with the other anesthetic agents used.The effects of ten inhalational anesthetic agents on drug metabolism were studied in rats. Male Sprague Dawley-rats were exposed to below anesthetic concentrations of the test agents 7 hours a day for 1 to 7 days, or up to 15 days when nitrous-oxide was used. A single intraperitoneal injection of 125 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) hexobarbital, a sleep inducer, was given 20 to 22 hours after the last exposure to the anesthetic, and sleeping time was determined. Some animals were given an intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg SKF-525-A, an inhibitor of hepatic microsomal enzyme activity, 30 minutes before the hexobarbital injection. Liver homogenates prepared from some rats pretreated with diethyl-ether or halothane were incubated with hexobarbital and assayed for O-demethylase activity and aniline-hydroxylase activity. Hexobarbital sleeping time was significantly reduced after a single 7 hour exposure to diethyl-ether, isopropyl-ether, fluroxene, enflurane, and Forane. Two exposures to halothane and ethyl-vinyl-ether were required to cause a significant reduction in sleeping time. Chloroform caused an increase in sleeping time after one exposure, no change with two or four exposures, and a decrease after five or more exposures. Nitrous-oxide and cyclopropane had no effect on hexobarbital sleeping time. SKF-525-A blocked the decrease in sleeping time caused by diethyl-ether and halothane. The rate of hydroxylation of hexobarbital and aniline by rat liver homogenates was increased by pretreatment with either diethyl-ether or halothane, but demethylase activity was increased only by diethyl-ether pretreatment. The authors conclude that exposure to inhalation anesthetics can enhance the ability of rats to metabolize drugs. ...
環境中動態TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 10(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that vinyl ethyl ether is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of vinyl ethyl ether from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.3X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 515 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 7800 mg/L(4). Vinyl ethyl ether is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure. A 100% degradation using activated sludge in the OECD Guideline 302B (Inherent biodegradability: Zahn-Wellens/EMPA) test(4) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 10(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that vinyl ethyl ether 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 6.3X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 515 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 7800 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 2.6 hours and 3.4 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 2(SRC), from its log Kow of 1.04(7) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A 100% degradation using activated sludge in the OECD Guideline 302B (Inherent biodegradability: Zahn-Wellens/EMPA) test(5) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC). Vinyl ethyl ether is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). Vinyl ethyl ether is an olefin and olefins react with photooxidants in natural waters (such as hydroxyl, peroxy and singlet oxygen) exposed to sunlight with a half-life on the order of 25 days(8).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), vinyl ethyl ether, which has a vapor pressure of 515 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase vinyl ethyl ether 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 5 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 7.79X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Vapor-phase vinyl ethyl ether is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone and nitrate radicals(SRC)the half-lives for these reactions in air is estimated to be 1.4 and 0.6 hours(SRC), calculated from respective rate constants of 2.0X10-16 and 1.40X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Vinyl ethyl ether does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

暴露経路The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour.
毒性の概要IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Vinyl ethyl ether is a flammable liquid. It is used in proteomics research and organic synthesis. It was studied as an anesthetic agent in the 1950s. HUMAN STUDIES: Vinyl ethyl ether was studied in clinical trials to investigate whether it was suitable as an anesthetic. Some patients participating in these studies suffered complications (generalized convulsions due to hypercarbia and respiratory and circulatory depression as well as respiratory and cardiac arrest), which were attributed to overdosage. The degree of muscle relaxation obtained with this type of anesthesia was considered to be inadequate. Liver function tests conducted after several hours of anesthesia showed that hepatic function was not affected. Urinalyses, blood counts and electrocardiograms obtained after anesthesia revealed slight, reversible changes in some cases. There is a report of one case of transient damage to the human cornea, which was reversible after 48 hr. ANIMAL STUDIES: In rabbits, it caused only very mild irritation to the skin and eye. On acute oral administration, dermal application and inhalation exposure, vinyl ethyl ether was found to be of low toxicity. A rapid induction of CNS depression and rapid recovery from narcosis was noted with monkeys, dogs, rats. The clinical signs of intoxication were characterized by the CNS depressant effect of the substance. In the Salmonella/microsome assay, vinyl ethyl ether was found to test negative both with and without metabolic activation. In the sister chromatid exchange assay in Chinese hamster ovary cells, the chemical caused a significant increase in sister chromatid exchange rate.
Signs and SymptomsCough. Incoordination. Dizziness. Drowsiness. Headache. Wheezing. Unconsciousness.Redness. Dry skin.Aspiration hazard! Headache. Nausea.
Effluent ConcentrationsVinyl ethyl ether has been detected in emissions from turbine engines(1).
Soil Adsorption/MobilityUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of vinyl ethyl ether can be estimated to be 10(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that vinyl ethyl ether is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
Human Toxicity Excerpts/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ ... /CNS depression/ was also studied in one human subject. The induction period was 60 seconds, duration of light anesthesia was 6 minutes. Recovery was rapid and uneventful. Blood pressure and pulse were not altered. The subject stated that the vapors did not irritate the upper respiratory tract./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In the 1950s, ethoxyethene was studied in clinical trials to investigate whether it was suitable as an anesthetic. Some patients participating in these studies suffered complications (generalized convulsions due to hypercarbia and respiratory and circulatory depression as well as respiratory and cardiac arrest), which were attributed to overdosage. The degree of muscle relaxation obtained with this type of anesthesia was considered to be inadequate. Liver function tests conducted after several hours of anesthesia showed that hepatic function was not affected. Urinalyses, blood counts and electrocardiograms obtained after anesthesia revealed slight, reversible changes in some cases./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ The pharmacological effects were studied in 29 patients, aged 14 to 58 years (7 males, 22 females). Gynecological and orthopedic cases prevailed. Ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) was used in combination with other common anesthetics. In brief, findings were as follows: Liver function was unchanged in 58% of the patients. Bromsulphthalein excretion was observed in some cases. In two of these, large doses up to 110 mL EVE had been used. Urinalysis: no changes were noted in 68% of the patients. Six patients (20%) showed findings (traces of acetone (n=6), increased sugar (n=2), traces of albumin (n=3) which had returned to normal on day 5 post treatment. Blood: no changes in 82% of the patientsthe remainder showed slight leucocytosis. ECG: no change in 48% of the patients. Tachycardia, auricular and ventricular premature contractions were all seen. Mild myocardial depression was noted in 5 cases (17%). Nausea, vomiting: was seen in 10 out of 29 patients. Salivation: was quite severe at timeswas treatable with atropine./CASE REPORTS/ There is a report of one case of transient damage to the human cornea, which was reversible after 48 hr./OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ A rapid induction of /CNS depression/ and rapid recovery from narcosis was noted with monkeys, dogs, rats, and man. Compared with diethylether approximately 50% less the quantity was required.
Artificial Pollution SourcesVinyl ethyl ether's production and use in copolymerizations and as a chemical intermediate(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Vinyl ethyl ether is released to air in emissions from turbine engines(2). Vinyl ethers are released to the atmosphere entirely from anthropogenic sources(3).
Environmental BiodegradationAEROBIC: Using OECD Guideline 302B (Inherent biodegradability: Zahn-Wellens/EMPA Test) with an activated, non-adapted industrial sludge inoculum, vinyl ethyl ether, at 400 mg/L, reached 100% degradation (DOC removal) after 5 days of incubation. Using OECD Guideline 310 (Ready Biodegradability - CO2 in Sealed Vessels, Headspace Test) with a domestic activated sludge, the analog isobutyl vinyl ether, at 27.7 mg/L, reached 60-70% after 28 days of incubation(1)the interpretation of the test result was readily biodegradable, but failing the 10-day window(1).
Environmental BioconcentrationAn estimated BCF of 2 was calculated in fish for vinyl ethyl ether(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.04(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

製法・合成法

製造方法

Ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) can be prepared by reacting acetylene with absolute ethanol in the presence of an alkali catalyst. The most commonly used catalyst for vinylation is an alkali metal hydroxide or an alkali metal alkoxide. In China, three processes for the manufacture of EVE using the acetylene route were used:A continuous process with a homogeneous catalyst under high pressure. The advantages of this process are fast reaction rate and high conversion, but the disadvantages include the requirement of high standard equipment, large energy consumption, and easy safety issues. A process with a solid catalyst (heterogeneous catalyst) under atmospheric pressure is relatively simple in product separation and refining compared with a process with a homogeneous catalyst under high pressure. However, it has the disadvantages of low output, the short service life of catalyst (about 110 h), and a high requirement on the specification of carrier lime.A process with a homogeneous catalyst under atmospheric pressure has the advantages of high output and good safety but disadvantages of low conversion.In the process with solid catalyst under atmospheric pressure, acetylene, and ethanol vapor were introduced into a fixed-bed reactor, and the vinylation reaction was carried out at a temperature as high as about 180 °C. EVE was produced with a concentration of about 70% in the outlet gas stream from the reactor. The fixed-bed reactor was charged with 4–5 mesh catalyst particles of potassium hydroxide supported on lime.

純化方法

It usually contains polymerization inhibitors (usually amines, e.g. triethanolamine) which can be removed by fractional distillation. Redistil it from sodium. [Beilstein 1 IV 2049.] LACHRYMATORY.
