20. The antioxidant according to claim 16, in which the substituents R 3 and R 4 or R 4 and R 5 , together with a part-structure --O--CH 2 --NR 7 --CH 2 -- oxygen-attached via the substituent R 4 form a second tetrahydrooxazine ring. (patentsencyclopedia.com)
Alcohol5
This is because the same enzymes that are responsible for metabolizing alcohol also metabolize 1,4-butanediol so there is a strong chance of a dangerous drug interaction. (wikipedia.org)
however there is a study suggesting that 1,4-butanediol may have potential alcohol-like pharmacological effects on its own. (wikipedia.org)
This contradicts the hypothesis of butane-1,4-diol having inherent alcohol-like pharmacological effects. (wikipedia.org)
The allyl alcohol is then hydroformylated to 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde. (alchetron.com)
however there is a study suggesting that 1,4-butanediol may have potential alcohol-like pharmacological effects that are not due to this conversion. (alchetron.com)
