The question is , do nol and rone convert to none, then lose effect? or do they just fade away at 3-5, and thats it?
\"There have been a lot of discussions in the forum about this issue... The truth is that the conversion from -nol to -none does happen, but it won\'t be a big issue for -nol products users. Androstenol (which is a secondary alcohol) differs from androstenone (which is a ketone) because of two hydrogen atoms that the latter lacks: these can be converted to water if an adequate catalyst is present. The chemical reaction would be as follows:
C19H30O (androstenol) + (oxygen) = C19H28O (androstenone) + H2O
Luckily, in the usual wearing conditions, there isn\'t a catalyst strong enough to make this reaction happen fast, so the -nol will anyway convert to -none since it\'s exposed to oxidation, but it\'s going to happen very slowly. To get the idea SoE, which contains -nol, is reported to first show signs of -none alteration only after 8 hours from first application.\"
- That was in the newbie section. i assume you got your info from that. The rate at which oxygen would oxidize nol is so small, that the applied nol would be in equilibrium w/ a K of about 10e-15. probably way less than your body produces. its not a concern.
Rone is not in equilibrium with none. Just look at the stucture, its impossible.
