Benzaldehdye spontaneously oxidizes to benzoic acid in air, however it can be formed cleanly by the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Here the authors provide an explanation for this unusual behaviour ...

Ethyl alcohol’s ready oxidation also distinguishes it from the majority of other foods, including all fats and proteins and most carbohydrates. Their molecular structure is too complex for ...

Alcohol can expire. The shelf life can vary greatly depending on various factors, including the amount of ethanol the beverage contains. Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is a compound present in ...

We’ve been saying it for a long time, but now scientists are confirming: alcohol negatively manipulates the structure of the human brain and cannabis does no such thing. The powers that be ...

Other factors may affect alcohol’s shelf life. These include fluctuations in temperature, exposure to light, and oxidation (1, 2).

In the first MRI-based study to investigate pre-natal alcohol exposure, researchers found significant changes in the brain structure of fetuses exposed to alcohol compared to healthy controls ...

Children exposed to alcohol during fetal development exhibit changes in brain structure and metabolism that are visible using various imaging techniques, according to a new study.

Researchers say even small amounts of alcohol during pregnancy can affect the brain structure of a developing fetus, backing up previous research.

Alcohol exposure during foetal development can change brain structure and metabolism in babies, according to a new study which used various imaging techniques.

There’s nothing worse than uncorking a long-awaited bottle of wine only to be met with an off-putting aroma or an unexpected vinegar-like taste. While wine is known for aging gracefully, not every ...

Structure of esters To make an ester, a hydrogen atom must be removed from the hydroxyl group (–OH) of the alcohol. The –OH portion of the acid's carboxyl group must also be removed.
