(-)-1,2,4-Butanetriol

Description:

(-)-1,2,4-Butanetriol, also known as 2,3,4-butanetriol, is a triol with three hydroxyl (-OH) groups, making it a polyol. It is a chiral compound, existing in a specific enantiomeric form, which is indicated by the prefix "(-)" in its name. This substance is typically a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to its multiple hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds. Its chemical formula is C4H10O3, and it has a relatively low molecular weight. (-)-1,2,4-Butanetriol is used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and as a potential humectant in cosmetic formulations. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups also imparts it with hygroscopic properties. Safety data indicates that, while it is generally considered to have low toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed, particularly in industrial settings.

Triphenylphosphonium is a reactive phosphonium salt that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of 1,2,4-butanetriol. The synthesis of the triphenylphosphonium salt from the sodium salt of butyric acid and ferrocene is shown in this scheme. This synthetic route provides for planar chirality and an asymmetric synthesis. The byproduct, butyric acid, can be converted to its conjugate base with ammonium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide to provide cholic acid. Cholic acid is a hepatoprotective agent that has been used in the treatment of liver disease.
