Thus, is first metabolic product ethanol, as well an intermediate other processes, which more toxic than linked to most clinical effects alcohol. It has been shown increase risk developing cirrhosis liver, multiple forms cancer, alcoholism [1]. also known that readily reacts with amines, case exocyclic nitrogens nucleosides, primary [R2 > N–CH(CH3)–OH] a very reactive hydroxyl group, rapidly condenses alcohols give stable mixed acetals N–CH(CH3)–O–C2H5] at ambient temperature [2].
