  2. Diol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diol

    Propane-2,2-diol, an example of a geminal diol. A geminal diol has two hydroxyl groups bonded to the same atom. These species arise by hydration of the carbonyl compounds. The hydration is usually unfavorable, but a notable exception is formaldehyde which, in water, exists in equilibrium with methanediol H 2 C(OH) 2

  3. Hydroxy group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group

    In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula −OH and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom. In organic chemistry , alcohols and carboxylic acids contain one or more hydroxy groups.

  4. Alkanolamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkanolamine

    Examples include prolinol (from proline), valinol (from valine), tyrosinol (from tyrosine). Key members: ethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, N-methylethanolamine, Aminomethyl propanol. Two popular drugs, often called alkanolamine beta blockers, are members of this structural class: propranolol, pindolol.

  5. Hydroquinone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroquinone

    The reactivity of hydroquinone's hydroxyl groups resembles that of other phenols, being weakly acidic. The resulting conjugate base undergoes easy O-alkylation to give mono- and diethers. Similarly, hydroquinone is highly susceptible to ring substitution by Friedel–Crafts reactions such as alkylation.

  6. Hydroxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxylation

    Installing hydroxyl groups into organic compounds can be affected by various metal catalysts. Many such catalysts are biomimetic, i.e. they are inspired by or intended to mimic enzymes such as cytochrome P450. [2] Whereas many hydroxylations insert O atoms into C−H bonds, some reactions add OH groups to unsaturated

  7. Chiral drugs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiral_drugs

    Thalidomide is a classical example highlighting the alleged role of chirality in drug toxicity. Thalidomide was a racemic therapeutic and prescribed to pregnant women to control nausea and vomiting. The drug was withdrawn from world market when it became evident that the use in pregnancy causes phocomelia (clinical conditions where babies are ...

  8. A hydroxyl group (instead of a ketone) at the C3 position and/or a ketone (instead of a hydroxyl group) at the C17β can dramatically decrease AR agonist activity but render the steroid into an androgen prohormone. Examples: dehydroepiandrosterone, androstenedione, androstenediol, bolandiol, bolandione.

  9. Steroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid

    The name "11-deoxycortisol" is an example of a derived name that uses cortisol as a parent structure without an oxygen atom (hence "deoxy") attached to position 11 (as a part of a hydroxy group). [ 14 ] [ 21 ] The numbering of positions of carbon atoms in the steroid nucleus is set in a template found in the Nomenclature of Steroids [ 22 ] that ...
