Abstract:
Auto-brewery or intestinal fermentation syndrome is a rare disorder in which the symptoms of alcohol intoxication of varying severity develop without alcohol consumption. The fermentation activity of the altered intestinal microbiome is responsible for endogenous alcohol production. The set of symptoms not only raises differential diagnostic questions, but also has serious legal implications due to the resulting alcohol intoxication. The article reviews both the steps of diagnostic work and therapeutic options, the basis of the latter is the antifungal treatment. As the intestinal fermentation syndrome may lead to the development of non-alcoholic hepatic and pancreatic pathology, accurate diagnosis is important to prevent the development of such complications.

02:23Structure and Nomenclature of Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry. The name of alcohol comes from the hydrocarbon from which it is derived. Alcohols are organic molecules containing the functional hydroxyl or –OH group directly bonded to carbon. Phenols have an OH group directly attached to a benzene ring. While alcohols are colorless, phenol is a white crystalline compound with a characteristic "hospital smell" odor.

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
02:23Alcohols from Carbonyl Compounds: Reduction
Catalytic hydrogenation is similar to the reduction of an alkene or alkyne by adding H2 across the pi bond in the presence of transition metal catalysts like Raney Ni, Pd–C, Pt, or Ru. Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced by this method, often under mild to moderate heat (25–100°C) and...
