2-propanol and Adipocere

2-propanol has been researched along with Adipocere in 22 studies

2-Propanol: An isomer of 1-PROPANOL. It is a colorless liquid having disinfectant properties. It is used in the manufacture of acetone and its derivatives and as a solvent. Topically, it is used as an antiseptic.
propan-2-ol : A secondary alcohol that is propane in which one of the hydrogens attached to the central carbon is substituted by a hydroxy group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Five case reports are presented pertaining to diabetic ketoacidosis in an adult who was not known to suffer from diabetes and in presence of multiple psychotropic substances; fatal flecainide intoxication in a poor metabolizer also presenting an impaired renal function; diabetic ketoacidosis showing severe postmortem changes; primary aldosteronism presented with intracranial hemorrhage and hypothermia showing severe postmortem changes."3.78Usefulness of postmortem biochemistry in forensic pathology: illustrative case reports. ( Augsburger, M; Lesta, Mdel M; Mangin, P; Palmiere, C; Sabatasso, S; Sporkert, F, 2012)
"Acetone was the most frequently detected volatile (82 %), followed by acetaldehyde (44 %) and 2-propanol (34 %)."1.72The frequency of ethanol, higher alcohols and other low molecular weight volatiles in postmortem blood samples from unnatural deaths. ( Boumba, VA; Exadactylou, P; Fragkouli, K; Kovatsi, L; Velivasi, G; Ziavrou, KS, 2022)
"Positive BHB is proof of endogenous ketoacidosis, whereas negative BHB indicates isopropanol intoxication or postmortem acetone/isopropanol formation by microorganisms in cases of decomposition."1.56Postmortem diagnosis of ketoacidosis: Levels of beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone and isopropanol in different causes of death. ( Eriksson Hydara, Y; Zilg, B, 2020)
"However, in ketosis, acetone can be reduced to IPA."1.38Blood, urine and vitreous isopropyl alcohol as biochemical markers in forensic investigations. ( Augsburger, M; Bardy, D; Mangin, P; Palmiere, C; Sporkert, F; Werner, D, 2012)
