Description

1,4-Diacetoxybutane is a chemical compound that can be used as a cross-linking agent in wastewater treatment. It is an aliphatic hydrocarbon with two hydroxyl groups and an acidic hydrogen atom. 1,4-Diacetoxybutane reacts with water to form acetone and butanal. The reaction mechanism involves a series of hydrogen bonds between the alcohol group and the hydroxyl groups in the molecule. It has been shown that this chemical inhibits protease activity by inhibiting the formation of amide bonds between amino acids.
