General description
1,2-Epoxy-2-methylpropaneis a versatile epoxide monomer that is used to prepare polyether-based polymers.These polymers can be used in the production of hydrogels and other polymericmaterials that are used in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, andmedical devices. Additionally, 1,2-epoxy-2-methylpropane can beused to modify existing polymer backbones for enhancing their biocompatibilityand performance in biomedical applications.
Application
1,2-Epoxy-2-methylpropane can be used in the synthesis of novel semicrystalline polyesters through copolymerization with cyclic anhydrides. These polyesters exhibit desirable thermal properties, including high melting temperatures and enhanced mechanical strength. These properties make them suitable for various applications including tissue engineering, surgical implants, and bioelectronics.

Chemical research in toxicology, 8(7), 987-992 (1995-10-01)
The biotransformation of 2-methylpropene, a gaseous alkene widely used in industry, was investigated in vitro in liver tissue of rats, mice, and humans. Interspecies comparison revealed that the lowest levels of the primary epoxide metabolite were detected in incubations of

Archives of toxicology, 65(4), 263-267 (1991-01-01)
Until now, no data are available concerning the biotransformation and toxicity of 2-methylpropene (or isobutene), a gaseous alkene widely used in industry (rubber, fuel additives, plastic polymers, adhesives, antioxidants). In this work, the biotransformation of 2-methylpropene (MP) has been studied
