Alcoholes

<p>PEP is a "high-energy phosphate" compound playing a vital role in enzymatic phosphate-transfer reactions involved in ATP synthesis. It is used in conjunction with pyruvate kinase as a phosphorylating agent for ATP generation. Substrate for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase. Reagent for determination of glycerol.</p>

<p>2-Mercaptoethanol, also known as β-mercaptoethanol or β-ME, is a disulfide reducing agent used in the reduction of disulfide bridges in proteins. β-ME is conveniently inexpensive, water-soluble and must be used in excess in order to drive the reduction to completion.</p>

<p>2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is a chemical compound that is used to synthesize other compounds. It is produced by the reaction of ethyl formate and hydrogen chloride in a reaction vessel. It reacts with benzoates to produce 2-chlorobenzoates, which are used as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Hydroxyl groups can react with hydrogen fluoride to produce hydrofluoric acid, which is used as an industrial solvent. 2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol also reacts with hydroxide ions to produce ethylene glycol, which is used in making polyester fibers and plastics. This chemical compound has structural studies that show it has a proton and two hydroxyl groups that can react with hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are important for the stability of DNA structures. The molecular structures of velvetleaf plants contain 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol, which may be due to its role in transferring oxygen from leaves to roots for respiration during</p>

<p>2-Diethylamino)ethanol hydrochloride is a chemical compound that is used in analytical chemistry as a stationary phase for thin layer chromatography. Sephadex G-100 was developed by Pharmacia &amp; Upjohn Company and marketed in the 1970s. It has been shown to be useful in plasma mass spectrometry experiments, which measure the molecular weight of proteins and other compounds. The solubility of 2-diethylamino)ethanol hydrochloride has been studied using experimental solubility data, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and amines. The reaction mechanism of 2-diethylamino)ethanol hydrochloride is not well understood but it appears to involve potassium dichromate, hydrochloric acid, fluoroacetic acid, benzalkonium chloride and other chemicals.</p>

<p>Phenoxy-terminated carbonate oligomer of tetrabispHenol A (PCO-TBA) is a chemical that has been used as an additive in the food industry. It is a colorless, odorless solid. PCO-TBA has been shown to be toxic to humans by causing organ damage and cancer. The toxicity of PCO-TBA may be due to its ability to form polyhalogenated dibenzodioxins or biphenyls when heated at high temperatures. PCO-TBA also reacts with human serum, forming diphenyl ethers. This chemical is a potential carcinogen and, although used as a food additive, should not be consumed on a regular basis.</p>
