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.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
