Male Wistar rats were exposed to 2000 ppm n-hexane or were treated with a single dose of 2,5-hexanedione (200 mg kg-1). Analysis of the urine collected after both treatments revealed the formation of 4,5-dihydroxy-2-hexanone via 5-hydroxy-2-hexanone or 2,5-hexanedione, respectively. Identification of this new n-hexane metabolite included enzymatic hydrolysis of the excreted glucuronide, derivatization of the keto group with O-methylhydroxylamine, and subsequent GC-MS analysis.
