The novel refrigerant 2,3,3,3‐tetrafluoropropene (HFO‐1234yf) as well as the novel foam blowing and precision cleaning agent trans‐1‐chloro‐3,3,3‐trifluoropropene (trans‐HCFO‐1233zd) are both chlorofluorocarbon replacements with low GWPs and a short atmospheric life time. Whereas the hydrofluoroolefin HFO‐1234yf has no negative effect on stratospheric ozone due to the lack of chlorine in its structure, the hydrochlorofluoroolefine trans‐HCFO‐1233zd exhibits a very low potential for ozone depletion (ODP). This is approximately 100 times lower than the ozone depletion potential of precursor compounds such as 1,1,2‐trichloro‐1,2,2‐trifluoroethane (CFC‐113). Principle aims of this thesis were to investigate the unknown metabolism of the new solvent trans‐HCFO‐1233zd and to further investigate a possible biotransformation based toxicity of HFO‐1234yf observed in rabbits. Therefore study specimens of different in vitro and in vivo studies with trans‐HCFO‐1233zd and HFO‐1234yf were analyzed for metabolites using 19FNMR spectroscopy, LC‐MS/MS spectrometry and GC/MS spectrometry. Metabolites were identified by comparison with purchased or synthesized standard substances. Excretion kinetics of the predominant metabolites were determined by LC‐MS/MS quantification,inorganic fluoride was determined by potentiometry. Moreover cytochrome P‐450 2E1 and 3A4 liver enzyme activities were measured in a multi‐exposure study with HFO‐1234yf. ...
