General description

3,4-Dihydroxy-1-butene, also known as 3-butene-1,2-diol (BDdiol), is a metabolite of 1,3-butadiene.[1] It forms the precursor for synthesizing different chiral building blocks.[2] BDdiol can undergo oxidation to form hydroxymethylvinyl ketone (HMVK).[3] 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB) on hydrolysis in the presence of epoxide hydrolases (EH) forms BDdiol.[4]

Application

3,4-Dihydroxy-1-butene can be used:
  • As a reactant to synthesize cyclic organic carbonates by continuous flow procedure.[5]
  • To prepare substituted oxazolidinone ligands used to target medicinally relevant RNAs.[6]

3-Butene-1,2-diol (BDD), a major metabolite of 1,3-butadiene (BD), can readily be oxidized to hydroxymethylvinyl ketone (HMVK), a Michael acceptor. In previous studies, 4-(N-acetyl-l-cystein-S-yl)-1,2-dihydroxybutane (DHB), a urinary metabolite of BD that was used to assess human BD exposure, was suggested to

3-Butene-1,2-diol (BDD), a metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, is rapidly metabolized by B6C3F1 mice at doses ranging from 10 to 250 mg/kg. Calculation of plasma clearance suggested that the kinetics of BDD metabolism were dose-dependent. Clearance varied 5-fold in this dose range.

1,3-Butadiene (BD) is metabolized in humans and rodents to mutagenic and carcinogenic species. Our previous work has focused on developing a physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) model for BD to estimate its metabolic rate to 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (EB), using exhaled breath BD
