deltahydroxy
Delta-hydroxy is a term that can refer to a class of chemical compounds characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom that is in the delta position relative to another functional group. The delta position refers to the fourth carbon atom away from the primary functional group in a carbon chain. These compounds can exhibit a variety of chemical properties depending on the nature of the primary functional group and other substituents present on the molecule.
Delta-hydroxy compounds are often intermediates in organic synthesis. Their reactivity is influenced by the proximity of
These molecules can be found in various natural products and are also synthesized for use in pharmaceuticals,
