Johnson, Ph.D. 2-Chloroacrylonitrile (2-CAN) is a volatile, toxic chemical used as a raw material to manufacture pesticides. Although the toxic mechanism is not fully understood, the hypothesis in the literature is that 2-CAN may be metabolized to cyanide. An understanding of the mechanism of 2-CAN toxicity will permit more appropriate treatments in the event of an accidental exposure. Four groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were given intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections. Group 1 was a control that received only saline. Group 2 received 40 mg/kg of 2-CAN. Group 3 received 100 mg/kg of 5-phenyl-1-pentyne (5P1P) an inhibitor of cytochrome P-450. Group 4 received 100 mg/kg of 5P1P one hour before 40 mg/kg of 2- CAN. Three hours following administration, the animals were euthanized via cardiac puncture. Cardiac blood was collected for cyanide and cyanate analysis. Liver and lung iv tissues were harvested and analyzed for glutathione. In a separate experiment, the time to onset of hind limb paralysis was measured in animals receiving 40 mg/kg 2-CAN and 100 mg/kg 5P1P one hour prior to 40 mg/kg 2-CAN. Blood cyanide levels were increased in the 2-CAN group, but did not exceed 0.06 µg/mL, a concentration well below the minimum for producing adverse health effects. Compared to control animals, the 2-CAN treatment group had depleted glutathione by 20% in the lung and 44% in the liver. When 5P1P was administered prior to 2-CAN, there was no significant change in glutathione concentrations. Plasma cyanate levels in the 2-CAN group were 436 nmol/L plasma, a 390% increase over control. When a 5P1P was administered prior to 2-CAN, cyanate levels were reduced by 55% to less than 195 nmol/L plasma. In addition to decreasing plasma cyanate levels, 5P1P 1 hour prior to 2-CAN delayed the onset of hind limb paralysis from 6 minutes to 16 minutes. Since cyanide was not generated in substantial concentrations following 2-CAN administration, the use of an antidote specific for cyanide for 2-CAN toxicity may not be effective. The findings of increased cyanate levels in 2-CAN, combined with the hind-limb paralysis data suggest that cyanate, not cyanide, is the toxic metabolic product resulting from acute 2-CAN exposure. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to express my gratitude to my advisor, David A. Johnson, Ph.D. for his leadership, guidance, and input throughout the many years of pursuing this degree. I would like to thank my dissertation committee, J. Douglas Bricker, Ph.D., Frederick W.

  • Working with Hazardous Chemicals
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk. Organic Syntheses, Inc., its Editors, and its Board of Directors do not warrant or guarantee the safety of individuals using these procedures and hereby disclaim any liability for any injuries or damages claimed to have resulted from or related in any way to the procedures herein.

A Contribution to the Study of Hydroxyazo-bodies. The researches which have been made in recent years with regard to the constitution of "quinone hydrazones" prove conclusively that these bodies under the conditions of examination are not quinone derivatives but hydroxyazo-compounds; where quinone hydrazones might have been expected rearrangement invariably seems to take place with formation of hydroxyazo-bodies. Thus Borsche (Ann.1907, 357,171) found that by condensing o-nitrophenylhydrazine with p-benzoquinone there resulted not the quinone hydrazone but the isomeric hydroxyazo-body:- o h2h n h c 6h 4no2 n :n c 6h 4k o 2 o o 0 OH The spectroscopic evidence,at any rate for the para-quinones, also supports the view that where quinone hydrazones might be ex­ pected hydroxyazo-bodies are formed.
