Alcohol avoidance

Hepatotoxicity is a higher risk when isoniazid is given to those who chronically drink large amounts of alcohol avoid isoniazid in this group if possible, otherwise monitor LFTs. 

During the cleanse, it is best to avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea or sedatives such as alcohol. Avoid smoking. A calm emotional body is also best during this time. Do what it takes to be relaxed and avoid violent TV or novels. Spend time resting, contemplating nature or soaking in warm water scented with essential oils. Enjoy the process of purifying your body and mind.

The Swem Oxidation of alcohols avoids the use of toxic metals such as chromium, and can be carried out under very mild conditions. This reaction allows the preparation of aldehydes and ketones from primary and secondary alcohols, resp. Aldehydes do not react further to give carboxylic acids. A drawback is the production of the malodorous side product dimethyl sulphide.

Perchloryl fluoride is a non corrosive gas with a sweet taste. It has a melting point of -148 Celsius and a boiling point of -47 Celsius. Perchlorly fluoride is a very stable gas at room temperature. Explosions will result if perchloryl fluoride is treated with reducing agents such as amides, powdered metals, hydrides, sulfites, phosphites, phosphides, or hydrazines or when treated with alcohols. Avoid skin contact and inhalation.

Selection of solvents. The choice of solvent will naturally depend in the first place upon the solubility relations of the substance. If this is already in solution, for example, as an extract, it is usually evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and then dissolved in a suitable medium the solution must be dilute since crystallisation in the column must be avoided. The solvents generally employed possess boiling points between 40° and 85°. The most widely used medium is light petroleum (b.p. not above 80°) others are cycZohexane, carbon disulphide, benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, acetone, ether and acetic acid. 

Pure chloroform has b.p. 61°/760 mm. The solvent, when free from alcohol, should be kept in the dark in order to avoid the photochemical formation of phosgene. It must not be dried with sodium as an explosion may occur. 

Tertiary alcohols are more readily dehydrated than secondary alcohols, whilst primary alcohols are dehydrated with comparative difficulty. Thus the reaction proceeds easily with 33 per cent, sulphuric acid (1 acid 2 water, by volume) for amyl alcohol, but 50 per cent, (by volume) is required for aec.-amyl alcohol. Higher concentrations of acid tend to lead to increasing polymerisation of the olefine and are therefore usually avoided.

Furfuryl alcohol is shipped in bulk or dmms. Although not corrosive to metals, it is a powerful solvent and penetrant containers, tanks, lines, and valves need to be in good condition to avoid potential leakage. Furfuryl alcohol can be stored in containers lined with baked phenoHc resin coatings however, it should not be put in containers that are coated with lacquers, varnishes, or epoxy resins because it is an excellent solvent for many such coatings. 

Furfuryl alcohol is comparable to kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil in flammabiUty, the Tag Closed Cup flash point is 170°F. In the presence of concentrated mineral acids or strong organic acids, furfuryl alcohol reacts with explosive violence. Therefore, precautions should be taken to avoid contact of such materials with the alcohol. Caution is also recommended to avoid over-catalysis in the manufacture of furfuryl alcohol resins. 

Health nd Safety Factors. Although propargyl alcohol is stable, violent reactions can occur in the presence of contaminants, particularly at elevated temperatures. Heating in undiluted form with bases or strong acids should be avoided. Weak acids have been used to stabilize propargyl alcohol prior to distillation. Since its flash point is low, the usual precautions against ignition of vapors should be observed. 

Propargyl alcohol is a primary skin irritant and a severe eye irritant and is toxic by all means of ingestion all necessary precautions must be taken to avoid contact with Hquid or vapors. The LD q is 0.07 mL/kg for white rats and 0.06 mL/kg for guinea pigs.
