4-Vinylcyclohexene dioxide (VCD) is an organic compound that contains two epoxide functional groups. It is industrially used as a crosslinking agent for the production of epoxy resins. [5] [6] It is a colourless liquid. It is an intermediate for synthesis of organic compounds. [2]
4-Vinylcyclohexene dioxide is prepared by epoxidation of 4-vinylcyclohexene with peroxybenzoic acid. [5] Its viscosity is 15 mPa·s. [5]
4-Vinylcyclohexene dioxide, like other volatile epoxides, is classified as an alkylating agent. [5] VCD has toxic effects on fertility. It is a killer of oocytes, eggs in a female's ovaries, in immature ovarian follicles in mice and rats. [7] [8] [9]
In pest control, it has been used as an ovotoxic agent for reducing rat fertility. [10]
