Would be useful to include something about the applications of diol. For example, I recently learned that glycol (ethylene glycol) is used as a refrigerant in heat pump systems. Somebody with better knowledge in this area could maybe write something up. Erik75 13:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

In the section about synthesis: "Using acidic potassium manganate(VII) produces a colour change from clear deep purple to clear green; acidic potassium manganate(VII) turns clear colourless."

It mentions acidified potassium manganate (VII) twice, it should say something different, surely? Tim Goodwyn 23:07, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
