Mutagenic activity of vinyl compounds and derived epoxides

Simmon, Vincent F.; Baden, Jeffrey M. (Sch. Med., Stanford Univ., Stanford, CA, USA). Mutat. Res., 78(3), 227-31 (English) 1980. CODEN: MUREAV. ISSN: 0027-5107. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 4 (Toxicology) Vinyl compds. or derived epoxides were assayed in the Salmonella typhimurium/mammalian microsome system. Three strains of histidine-dependent S. typhimurium, TA1535, TA98, and TA100 were used. Of 10 compds. 9-vinylanthracene (I) [2444-68-0], vinylcarbazole [1484-13-5], 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (II) [106-86-5] and 3-epoxyethyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane [106-87-6] were mutagens. The study confirmed the overall genotoxicity of vinyl compds. and epoxides and the need to carefully screen them for mutagenic/carcinogenic effects.

Amine-cured epoxysilicones: new shrink-resist finish for wool

Amine-cured epoxysilicones: new shrink-resist finish for wool. Guise, G. Bruce; Jones, F. William (Div. Text. Ind., CSIRO, Belmont, Aust.). Text. Chem. Color., 9(3), 65-9 (English) 1977. 62647-86-3 and 61839-92-7 are also in the experiment. CODEN: TCCOB6. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 39 (Textiles) Amine-cured epoxysilicones produce shrink resistance in wool and can be used for durable-press finishing. The epoxysilicones, prepd. by treating poly(dimethylsiloxanes) with allyl glycidyl ether [106-92-3] or vinyl cyclohexene oxide [106-86-5], impart a high level of shrink resistance that is very durable. The shrink resistance and rate of curing may be varied considerably by changing the polymer structure, curing agents, or quantities of reactants. .
