Isobutanol
Isobutanol is an aliphatic alcohol. Isobutanol is a colorless, flammable, organic compound with a characteristic smell. Isobutanol is widely used in industry, as a solvent in chemical reactions, as well as being a useful starting material for organic synthesis. Isobutanol is a flammable liquid that should be stored and used in well-ventilated areas. It is moderately irritating to the skin and greatly irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Exposure to high concentrations of its vapour can cause temporary narcosis. Isobutanol is occasionally found as a volatile component of urine and arises from gut microbial metabolism. Isobutanol is used as one of the markers to measure occupational exposure to a mixture of solvents. Aliphatic alcohols levels increase in both diabetes mellitus and insulin-dependent diabetes patients. (PMID:5556886, 2477620, 9143482, 7627316, 2288731). Isobutanol is a microbial metabolite found in Clostridium, Cupriavidus, Escherichia, Geobacillus, Saccharomyces and Synechococcus (PMID:19946322). Present in fusel oil, wines and spirits and produced by fermentation of carbohydrates. It is used in the manuf. of flavouring essences. 2-Methyl-1-propanol is found in many foods, some of which are white mustard, chinese cabbage, pummelo, and parsley.
1-Butanol
1-butanol, also known as 1-butyl alcohol or 1-hydroxybutane, is a member of the class of compounds known as primary alcohols. Primary alcohols are compounds comprising the primary alcohol functional group, with the general structure RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl). Thus, 1-butanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. 1-butanol is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-butanol can be found in a number of food items such as sugar apple, kumquat, cherry tomato, and angelica, which makes 1-butanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1-butanol can be found primarily in blood, feces, and saliva, as well as throughout most human tissues. 1-butanol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Moreover, 1-butanol is found to be associated with diabetes mellitus type 2. The largest use of n-butanol is as an industrial intermediate, particularly for the manufacture of butyl acetate (itself an artificial flavorant and industrial solvent). It is a petrochemical, manufactured from propylene and usually used close to the point of manufacture. Estimated production figures for 1997 are: United States 784,000 tonnes; Western Europe 575,000 tonnes; Japan 225,000 tonnes . 1-Butanol, which is also known as n-butanol or 1-butanol or butyl alcohol (sometimes also called biobutanol when produced biologically), is an alcohol with a 4 carbon structure and the molecular formula of C4H10O. It is primarily used as a solvent, as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, and as a fuel. There are four isomeric structures for butanol. The straight chain isomer with the alcohol at an internal carbon is sec-butanol or 2-butanol. The branched isomer with the alcohol at a terminal carbon is isobutanol, and the branched isomer with the alcohol at the internal carbon is tert-butanol. 1-Butanol is produced in small amounts by gut microbial fermenetation through the butanoate metabolic pathway. It has been found in Bacillus, Clostridium, Escherichia, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Saccharomyces, Synechococcus and Thermoanaerobacterium.
1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2E)-enyl ether
1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2e)-enyl ether, also known as ether or ethyl oxide, is a member of the class of compounds known as dialkyl ethers. Dialkyl ethers are organic compounds containing the dialkyl ether functional group, with the formula ROR, where R and R are alkyl groups. 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2e)-enyl ether is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2e)-enyl ether can be found in tea, which makes 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2e)-enyl ether a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2e)-enyl ether is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Inhalation may result in dizziness, giddiness, euphoria, drowsiness, salivation, and CNS depression. Diethyl ether is also a skin and eye irritant (T36) (T3DB). 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2E)-enyl ether, also known as Ethyl ether or Anesthetic ether, is classified as a member of the Dialkyl ethers. Dialkyl ethers are organic compounds containing the dialkyl ether functional group, with the formula ROR, where R and R are alkyl groups. 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2E)-enyl ether is considered to be soluble (in water) and basic. 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2E)-enyl ether can be found in Tea. 1-hydroperoxy-8-carboxyoctyl 3,4-epoxynon-(2E)-enyl ether is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound D002491 - Central Nervous System Agents > D002492 - Central Nervous System Depressants > D000777 - Anesthetics N - Nervous system > N01 - Anesthetics > N01A - Anesthetics, general > N01AA - Ethers D012997 - Solvents Same as: D01772
2-Methylpropan-2-ol
tert-Butanol, or 2-methyl-2-propanol (colourless liquid or white solid, depending on the ambient temperature), is the simplest tertiary alcohol. It is one of the four isomers of butanol. tert-Butanol is a clear liquid with a camphor-like odor. It is very soluble in water and miscible with ethanol and diethyl ether. It is unique among the isomers of butanol because it tends to be a solid at room temperature, with a melting point slightly above 25 °C. 2-Methylpropan-2-ol is found in guava and ginger. 2-Methylpropan-2-ol is found in ginger. tert-Butanol, or 2-methyl-2-propanol (colourless liquid or white solid, depending on the ambient temperature), is the simplest tertiary alcohol.
