This study describes a headspace gas-chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of inorganic bromide in vegetables. Different parameters influencing the reaction of the bromide ion into 2-bromoethanol have been investigated. The analysis of 2-bromoethanol is performed by the headspace--electron capture--gas

1,2-Dibromoethane (DBE) and two of its potential metabolites, bromoethanol (BE) and bromoacetaldehyde (BA), were tested for carcinogenicity in male and female B6C3F1 mice using 30 animals of each sex per group. The carcinogen DBE was included in this assay as

2-Halogeno-ethanols change the active site structure of alpha-chymotrypsin more rapidly and effectively than ethanol, 1-propanol and urea, probably before producing an extensive conformation change.

1. The metabolism of 2-bromo[U-14C]ethanol an [U-14C]ethylene oxide has been studied in the rat. 2. As both compounds give rise to similar amounts of two urinary metabolites, identified as S-(2-hydroxyethyl)cysteine and N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxyethyl)cysteine, it is proposed that 2-bromoethanol is converted into

This work characterizes the internal energy distribution of the CD(2)CD(2)OH radical formed via photodissociation of 2-bromoethanol-d(4). The CD(2)CD(2)OH radical is the first radical adduct in the addition of the hydroxyl radical to C(2)D(4) and the product branching of the OH
