What is butanediol used for?

OVERVIEW

Other Name(s):

1,4-BD, 1,4-butanediol, 1,4-butylene glycol, 1,4-dihydroxybutane, 1,4-tetramethylene glycol, 2(3H)-Furanone di-dihydro, BD, BDO, Butane-1,4-diol, Butanodiol, Butylèneglycol, Butylene Glycol, Butylène Glycol, Glycol Butylique, Tetramethylene Glycol, Tetramethylene-1,4-diol.

Butanediol is a chemical that is used to make floor stripper, paint thinner, and other solvent products. It's illegal to sell butanediol for use as medicine. Nevertheless, butanediol is sometimes used as a substitute for other illegal substances such as gamma butyrolactone (GBL) and gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Unfortunately, butanediol is just as dangerous as GBL and GHB.

Butanediol has been used to stimulate growth hormone production and muscle growth; and for bodybuilding, weight loss, and trouble sleeping (insomnia).

How does it work?

Butanediol is converted to gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in the body. GHB slows down the brain, which can cause loss of consciousness along with dangerous slowing of breathing and other vital functions. It also stimulates growth hormone secretion.

USES & EFFECTIVENESS

  • Stimulating growth hormone production and muscle growth.

  • Bodybuilding.

  • Weight loss.

  • Trouble sleeping (insomnia).

  • Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of butanediol for these uses.

SIDE EFFECTS

Butanediol is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It has caused serious illness and more than 100 deaths.

Some side effects of butanediol are serious breathing problems, coma, amnesia, combativeness, confusion, agitation, vomiting, seizures, and very slow heartbeat. People who use butanediol on a regular basis and then stop may experience withdrawal symptoms such as sleep problems (insomnia), tremor, and anxiety.

How Do Antioxidants in Plastics Work?

图片
    One of the greatest benefits of using plastics is their longevity. However, when certain polymers are placed under unfavourable conditions, such as extreme heat or exposure to certain chemicals, they can break down at an accelerated rate. For plastics used in automotive injection moulding and thermoforming, we use plastics with added antioxidants to improve their longevity and durability.   How do the  antioxidants in plastics  work? This is where antioxidants come into play. Antioxidants neutralise the free radical molecules that accelerate oxidation and cause damage. You may have heard that antioxidants are good for your health - vitamin C, beta carotene and lycopene are examples of powerful antioxidants found in food that we can eat to slow down the attack of free radicals on our cells. If you dip an apple slice in lemon juice, it won't turn brown as quickly because the vitamin C slows down the oxidation process and I neutralises the free radicals.   Antioxidant 1010 Types o

What is the application of 2-Phenylacetamide

图片
2-Phenylacetamide , also known as N-phenylacetamide or acetanilide, is a chemical compound used in the production of a variety of products including pharmaceuticals, dyes, and plastics. It has a molecular formula of C8H9NO and is typically a white or off-white solid with a faint odor. 2-Phenylacetamide is commonly synthesized by the reaction of acetamide with aniline in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction produces a mixture of 2-phenylacetamide and its isomer, N-phenylacetamide, which can be separated by crystallization or distillation. 2-Phenylacetamide has a number of important applications in the pharmaceutical industry. It is used as a starting material for the synthesis of a variety of drugs, including painkillers, anti-inflammatory agents, and anticonvulsants. It is also used in the production of dyes and pigments, as well as in the manufacture of plastics and other synthetic materials.  In addition to its industrial uses, 2-Phenylacetamide has been investigated for i

What is Tropinone?

图片
Tropinone  is a tropane alkaloid, usually in needle-like crystals (gasoline), used as an intermediate in the synthesis of atropine sulfate. It is an alkaloid molecule worth mentioning in the history of organic synthesis. Use tropinone to react with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of alkali to generate 2-methoxycarbonyl tropinone, and then hydrogenate the product in the presence of Raney nickel to generate methylecgonine, and finally methylecgonine is combined with Cocaine can be obtained by esterification of benzoyl chloride in the presence of pyridine. The synthetic method of Tropinone Wierstedt (1915 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry) used cycloheptanone as the starting material. Although the yield of each step in the route was high, the total yield was greatly reduced due to the number of steps, only 0.75%. . Of course, it was a great contribution to the development of synthetic organic chemistry to be able to synthesize such complex compounds artificially in the early 20th century. Th
