Activation mechanism of tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate to the potent mutagen, 2-bromoacrolein. 1984

S D Nelson, and J G Omichinski, and L Iyer, and W P Gordon, and E J Soderlund, and E Dybing

The potent mutagen 2- bromoacrolein is formed from the carcinogenic flame retardant tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate (Tris-BP) on incubation with hepatic microsomes. Substitution of deuterium for hydrogen at the terminal carbon atoms (C-3) of Tris-BP significantly decreased both the mutagenic response and the formation rate of 2- bromoacrolein . Mass spectral analysis of the 2- bromoacrolein that was formed from the selectively deuterated analogs of Tris-BP revealed that the primary mechanism for the formation of 2- bromoacrolein involves an initial oxidative dehalogenation at C-3 followed by a beta-elimination reaction.
