Application
3,4-Dihydroxy-1-butene can be used:
- As a reactant to synthesize cyclic organic carbonates by continuous flow procedure.
- To prepare substituted oxazolidinone ligands used to target medicinally relevant RNAs.
General description
3,4-Dihydroxy-1-butene, also known as 3-butene-1,2-diol (BDdiol), is a metabolite of 1,3-butadiene. It forms the precursor for synthesizing different chiral building blocks. BDdiol can undergo oxidation to form hydroxymethylvinyl ketone (HMVK). 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB) on hydrolysis in the presence of epoxide hydrolases (EH) forms BDdiol.

A rapid, simple extraction and GC assay procedure is described that allows quantitation of micromolar concentrations of butadiene bisoxide and 3-butene-1,2-diol in microsomal suspensions exposed to butadiene. Butane-1,4-diol is used as the internal standard. The recovery of these compounds from

The metabolic fate of 3-butene-1,2-diol (BDD), a secondary metabolite of the industrial carcinogen, 1,3-butadiene, is unclear. The current study characterizes BDD oxidation to hydroxymethylvinyl ketone (HMVK), a reactive Michael acceptor. Because of its instability in aqueous medium, HMVK was trapped
