hi, haven't been to this site in a dog's age, but all week i've been trying to reanimate my dead girlfreind and this is what i came up with. i challenge anyone with better knowledge of Organic Chem to prove me wrong. The IUPAC name 2,4,5 trioxin, assuming the simplest possible structure, describes an impossible molecule. The closest actual chemical would be Dioxin, AKA paraformaldehyde. BTW, this stuff kills ALL living things. they even used it to disinfect that monkey farm in Virginia that had the Ebola outbreak. dioxin is a polymerized aldehyde. It is a cyclic polymer, which means the formaldehyde molecules form little triangles with their carbonyl groups (oxygen) sticking out. This would be the 2,4, and 5 postion 'tri-oxy' in trioxin too. The thing is, and i may be wrong, i don't think you can just polymerize two carbonly groups without a carbon chain betwen them. it sould be 2,4,6 trioxin. The only way you could have two oxygen atoms right together would be in a di-either bridge, like MDMA. but then Trioxin would be described as "4,5-methlenedioxy". or maybe the 2,5 is an epoxy bridge, sharing one oxygen atom. Paraldahyde is sometimes called trioxane, and while similar in strucure to its toxic cousin, Paraldehyde was long used as a detox drugs for alocoholics, back in the Bill Burroughs days of drug detox. it was known for secreting in lung tissue and giving users a pungent haltosis called Paral-breath. As i said, my knowledge of organic chem is limited mostly to--big fucking surprise--pharmacology. So anyone who thinks im talking outta my ass--and I may be--feel free to prove me wrong. Im probably gonna try a chem forum on this too. Just don't forget we're talking about a fictional fucking chemcial here, there's a lot of assumptions I've made.
