Talk:Ethchlorvynol

Fixed a couple of spelling errors. Corrected relationship to barbiturates (ethchlorvynol is not a barbiturate; it's a tertiary carbinol) and added information on discontinuation. Porkchopmcmoose 23:45, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Individual Users?
Is it really necessary to have a whole section about Justice Rehnquist's experience with the drug? Audie Murphy, the decorated WWII veteran, also became dependent on it and apparently sequestered himself for a week in a motel room while getting off of the drug. Perhaps it would be more fitting to just list prominent cases rather than writing up individual experiences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.12.128.24 (talk) 08:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Weird observation
The molecular structure resembles a stick figure falling down.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:33, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Carbamate
The carbamate ester derived from ethchlorvynol, 1-Chloro-3-ethyl-1-penten-4-yn-3-ol carbamateis known. Placidyl Carbamate CAS 74283-25-3 is covered by US Patent 2,865,967  'TERTARY WINYL ETHYNYL CARBINOLS AND PROCESS OF PREPARATION'. Has anyone tried using CHARMM with a large training-set of ethynynols, carbamates, halides & alcohols? It seems like there is some order in the apparent chaos of early sedative hypnotics and for an educational purpose, 3DQSAR might be the way to go? I haven't just added it to the page because I am uncertain of it's inclusion. I did find the oxazole analogue of Heminevrin that has sat on it's page for years but the majority of patents I added (I had Reaxys at my desk) have been removed. I obviously don't understand the intention of the pages but to help people to learn medicinal chemistry is my thought on this. If not, fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.74.135 (talk) 17:18, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
