    1,4-Butanediol, also called Butane-1,4-diol (other names include 1,4-B, BD, BDO and 1,4-BD), [5] is a primary alcohol and an organic compound with the formula HOCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH. . It is a colorless viscous liquid first synthesized in 1890 via acidic hydrolysis of N,N'-dinitro-1,4-butanediamine by Dutch chemist Pieter Johannes Dekkers, who called it "tetramethylene glyco

  7. Catalyst poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst_poisoning

    Poisoning often involves compounds that chemically bond to a catalyst's active sites. Poisoning decreases the number of active sites, and the average distance that a reactant molecule must diffuse through the pore structure before undergoing reaction increases as a result. [4]

    2 is about 10 −3, [1] while that of formaldehyde H 2 C =O to methanediol H 2 C(OH) 2 is 10 3. [2] For conversion of hexafluoroacetone (F 3 C) 2 C =O to the diol (F 3 C) 2 C(OH) 2, the constant is about 10 +6, due to the electron withdrawing effect of the trifluoromethyl groups. Similarly, the conversion of chloral (Cl

  9. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.
