Studies on the oxidation products from 2,4-diaminotoluene by hydrogen peroxide and their mutagenicities. II.
2,4-Diaminotoluene (DAT) was reacted with hydrogen peroxide at room temperature for 2 days, and the resulting red precipitates were separated into 5 fractions on silica gel column chromatography. On the gas chromatographic (GC) study, the first fraction (Fr. 1), which is mutagenic (1425 and 1391 revertants/micrograms in the absence and presence of S9 respectively) in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, contained several peaks. Fr. 1 was further separated into 4 subfractions (Fr. 1-I-Fr. 1-IV) by silica gel column chromatography. The red crystals were separated from Fr. 1-III and the structure of the compound was determined to be 1,8-diamino-2,7-dimethylphenazine from physicochemical and chemical evidence. Further, o-nitro-p-toluidine, p-nitro-o-toluidine, 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-dimethylazobenzene and 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-dimethylazoxybenzene were identified with authentic and synthesized samples by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. These compounds without nitrotoluidines were mutagenic, and phenazine, azo and azoxy compounds induced 49, 301 and 245 revertants/nmole in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 with 25 microliters S9 per plate, respectively.
