[{"from": "human", "value": "Provide a brief overview of this molecule. [C][Branch1][Ring2][C][C][O][C][O]"}, {"from": "gpt", "value": "The molecule is a butanediol that is butane in which one hydrogen of each of the methyl groups is substituted by a hydroxy group. A colourless, water-miscible, viscous liquid at room temperature (m.p. 16\u2103) with a high boiling point (230\u2103), it is mainly used for the production of other organic chemicals, particularly the solvent oxolane (also known as tetrahydrofuran or THF). It has a role as a neurotoxin, a protic solvent and a prodrug. It is a butanediol and a glycol."}]
