1,3-Butadiene diepoxide(Cat No.:M051162)is a reactive organic compound featuring two epoxide (oxirane) rings attached to a butadiene backbone. As a diepoxide, it serves as a potent bifunctional alkylating agent, capable of forming covalent bonds with nucleophilic sites in DNA and proteins. It is primarily used in research to study mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and toxicology, as it is a known metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, a common industrial chemical. Due to its high reactivity and genotoxic potential, strict safety measures are required when handling this compound. It also finds limited application in polymer crosslinking and materials research.
