Cis-2-Buten-1,4-diol is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH=CHCH2OH. It is a diol that contains a hydroxyl group, making it an alcohol. Cis-2-buten-1,4-diol is used as an anti-leukemic agent in the synthesis of palladium complexes. It can be prepared by allylation of 2-butene. The regiospecificity of this reaction depends on the steric hindrance caused by substituents adjacent to the double bond. Cis-2-Buten-1,4-diol has also been used as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry and to produce telechelic polymers with ether linkages. This compound has two carbonyl groups and one hydroxyl group. It reacts with hydrochloric acid in a reaction mechanism that is similar to that for glycerol: C

Applications cis-1-Butene-1,4-diol is used in the synthesis of bezoxazinyl-oxazolidinones as promising antbacterial agents. Also used in the preparation of AMF-26, an antitumor agent for inhibition of the golgi system, targeting a specific ribosylation factor. References Guo, B. et al.: J. Med.
