Description

2-Methoxymethyloxirane (2MMO) is a fatty acid epoxide that reacts with the hydroxyl groups on collagen to form a cross-linked network. This reaction mechanism may be responsible for the thermal expansion of 2MMO and its stability at high temperatures. The phase transition temperature of 2MMO is in the range of 100-120°C, which is lower than that for most other common epoxides, such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. In vitro experiments have shown that 2MMO can inhibit autoimmune diseases by inhibiting the proliferation of T lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils. 2MMO also has been shown to have cationic polymerization properties and can act as a solid catalyst. A detergent composition containing 2MMO was found to be more effective than one without it at removing inorganic acids from a surface.
