CH 3 CH 2 OH + H 2 SO 4 → CH 3 CH 2 OSO 3 H + H 2 O. If the temperature exceeds 140 °C, the ethyl sulfate product tends to react with residual ethanol starting material, producing diethyl ether. If the temperature exceeds 170 °C in a considerable excess of sulfuric acid, the ethyl sulfate breaks down into ethylene and sulfuric acid. [12] [13]
1α-Hydroxyvitamin D 5 is a chemical derivative of vitamin D 5.The motive to study 1α-hydroxyvitamin D 5 as a potential pharmaceutical drug stemmed from the tendency of calcitriol, a natural metabolite produced in the kidney, to cause toxic hypercalcemia in patients when dosed at concentrations needed to interrupt prostate cancer cells' cycle and stimulate apoptosis.
After cessation of alcohol intake, the half-life of PEth is between 4.5 and 10 days in the first week and between 5 and 12 days in the second week. [2] As a blood marker PEth is more sensitive than carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT), urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS).
Although the formula for diethyl sulfate is typically written (C 2 H 5) 2 SO 4, a more descriptive formula would be (C 2 H 5 O) 2 SO 2. It is a diester of sulfuric acid. Sulfur is tetrahedral. Diethyl sulfate hydrolyzes readily, forming ethanol and ethyl sulfate. Eventually sulfuric acid is formed with excess water.
A diuretic (/ ˌ d aɪ j ʊ ˈ r ɛ t ɪ k /) is any substance that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine. This includes forced diuresis. A diuretic tablet is sometimes colloquially called a water tablet. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from the body, through the kidneys ...
Polystyrene sulfonic acid, the acid whose salts are the polystyrene sulfonates, has the idealized formula (CH 2 CHC 6 H 4 SO 3 H) n. The material is prepared by sulfonation of polystyrene: (CH 2 CHC 6 H 5) n + n SO 3 → (CH 2 CHC 6 H 4 SO 3 H) n. Several methods exist for this conversion, which can lead to varying degree of sulfonation.
Disulfiram is a medication used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol (drinking alcohol). Disulfiram works by inhibiting the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase (specifically the ALDH2 enzyme [3]), causing many of the effects of a hangover to be felt immediately following alcohol consumption.
Docusate is the common chemical and pharmaceutical name of the anion bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, also commonly called dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DOSS). [2] [3] [4]Salts of this anion, especially docusate sodium, are widely used in medicine as an emollient laxative and as stool softeners, by mouth or rectally. [1]
