Prenderol (Diethylpropanediol) is a simple alkyl diol which has sedative, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant effects. It is closely related in structure to meprobamate and numerous other alkyl alcohols and diols with generally comparable activity.
==Synthesis== Treatment of the aldehyde 2-ethylbutyraldehyde with formaldehyde and potassium hydroxide gives a crossed Cannizzaro reaction yielding prenderol.
