3-BUTENE-1,2-DIOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

Decomposition product of Erythritol.

Uses

3,4-Dihydroxy-1-butene can be used:

• As a reactant to synthesize cyclic organic carbonates by continuous flow procedure.
• To prepare substituted oxazolidinone ligands used to target medicinally relevant RNAs.

General Description

3,4-Dihydroxy-1-butene, also known as 3-butene-1,2-diol (BDdiol), is a metabolite of 1,3-butadiene. It forms the precursor for synthesizing different chiral building blocks. BDdiol can undergo oxidation to form hydroxymethylvinyl ketone (HMVK). 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB) on hydrolysis in the presence of epoxide hydrolases (EH) forms BDdiol.
