Bis-HPPP

2,2-Bis[4(2,3-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl]propane (bis-HPPP) is an organic compound that is formed when the dental composite material bis-GMA is degraded by salivary esterases.[1] It is structurally related to bisphenol A.

Formation

Together with methacrylic acid, bis-HPPP is released following the CE-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2,2-[4(2-hydroxy 3-methacryloxypropoxy)-phenyl]propane (bis-GMA). This reaction is very common in hydrolytic degradation of the dental resin since salivary esterases are able to cleave the ester bonds in acrylic polymers of dental composites.

Analysis by mass spectrometry demonstrated that hydrolytic reactions would cleave the ester bonds of both methacrylate units in bis-GMA and produce bis-HPPP along with two molecules of methacrylic acid.[2]

gollark: But this does fundamentally run into the problem that it's impossible to give someone access to data but not let them do certain things.
gollark: Also, it is possible to obfuscate code a *lot*.
gollark: I'll use the antipiracy orbital lasers.

gollark: Just broadcast EULAs over modems every now and then.
