Alcohol Denaturing

Benzyldiethyl[(2,6-xylylcarbamoyl)methyl]ammoniumbenzoate (denatonium benzoate [3734-33-6] Bitrex) is an extremely bitter tasting, nonirritating, and nonmutagenic compound that has been widely used in many household products such as detergents, nail poHsh removers, and cleaning agents, to prevent childhood poisoning. It is also used as an alcohol denaturant. 

D) Preparation of N-(p-[1-lsonitrosoethyl]-Phenoxy-Acetyij-Piperidine The amide from (C) is refluxed for 5 hours with technical (98%) hydroxylamine and alcohol denatured with methanol. The desired product is obtained in a 75% yield. 

Frequently, ethanol that is not destined for human consumption is denatured by adding small quantities of methanol or benzene. This avoids the high federal tax on beverage alcohol denatured alcohol is poisonous.

In the past, dissociation of the nucleoprotein complex has been brought about by salt solutions or by heat denaturation,129 but, more recently, decomposition has been effected by hydrolysis with trypsin,126 or by the use of dodecyl sodium sulfate130 or strontium nitrate.131 Some virus nucleoproteins are decomposed by ethyl alcohol.132 This effect may be similar to that of alcohol on the ribonucleoproteins of mammalian tissues. If minced liver is denatured with alcohol, and the dried tissue powder is extracted with 10% sodium chloride, the ribonucleoproteins are decomposed to give a soluble sodium ribonucleate while the deoxyribonucleoproteins are unaffected.133 On the other hand, extraction with 10 % sodium chloride is not satisfactory unless the proteins have first been denatured with alcohol. Denaturation also serves to inactivate enzymes of the tissues which might otherwise bring about degradation of the nucleic acid during extraction. 

Native monellin consists of two polypeptide chains, a 45-residue A-chain and a 50-residue B-chain, linked by non-covalent interactions. At neutral pH, it is fairly resistant to heat denaturation with a higher than 80 °C. The crystal structure of native monellin shows a tertiary structure comprising an anti-parallel /1-sheet with five strands and an a-helix. H NMR spectroscopy and hydrogen exchange methods have been used to characterize the alcohol-denaturated state of monellin in order to understand how its secondary structure depends on environmental conditions. " Structural and dynamic studies by NMR have been carried out in order to compare native monellin and a non-sweet analogue in which Asp was replaced by Abu . The three-dimensional structures of the two proteins are found to be very...

Tetrachloroethane is used as a solvent, for cleansing and degreasing metals, in paint removers, varnishes, lacquers, photographic film, resins and waxes, extraction of oils and fats, as an alcohol denaturant, in organic synthesis, in insecticides, as a weedkiller and fumigant and as an intennediate in the manufacture of other chlorinated hydrocarbons (Lewis, 1993). 

Denatured (or Industrial) Alcohol (Denatured Spirits). Colorless liquid (which is sometimes artificially colored blue or red to distinguish it from ordinary alcohol) consisting of ethyl alcohol and "denaturants . Its toxicity depends on de-naturants used, of which the principal one is methyl alcohol. This ale produces blindness.

While a hydrophobic ion-pair is retained on hydrophobic stationary phases better than an ionized analyte, the retention of the duplex on normal phases is easily predicted to be lower than that of the ionized analyte because polar interactions are reduced. Actually the trend of k versus IPR concentration under normal phase IPC is the opposite of reversed phase IPC [34]. An aminopropyl, a cyanoethyl, and a silica stationary phase were compared for the analysis of alcohol denaturants. The cyanoethyl phase was selected and anionic IPRs were used to reduce retention of cationic analyte, suppressing their interactions with negatively charged silanols...

Diethyl phthalate is also used as an alcohol denaturant and as a solvent for cellulose acetate in the manufacture of varnishes and dopes. In perfumery, diethyl phthalate is used as a perfume fixative at a concentration of 0.1-0.5% of the weight of the perfume used. 

On the shelves of drugstores you can find bottles of ethanol labeled denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol is ethanol to which small amounts of noxious materials such as aviation gasoline or other organic solvents have been added. Ethanol is denatured in order to make it unfit to drink. Because of their polar hydroxyl groups, alcohols make good solvents for other polar organic substances. For example, methanol, the smallest alcohol, is a common industrial solvent found in some paint strippers, and 2-butanol is found in some stains and varnishes, as shown in Figure 23-5. Perform the CHEMLAB at the end of this chapter to learn about some other properties of small-chain alcohols. 

Chlorophenols are used in dye synthesis, fungicides, herbicides, wood preservatives, and as ingredients in alcohol denaturants. 

Diethyl ether is used in the production of rubber, plastics, paints, coatings, perfumes, and cosmetics. It is used as a solvent or extractant for fats, waxes, oils, resins, dyes, and alkaloids. It is also used as a fuel additive, alcohol denaturant, and as a medical anesthetic.
