Watch it :) introducing chlorine groups or unsaturations 'next' to the
hydroxy-group makes the compound reactive - an electrophile. While this
doesn't mean reactive as in readily attacks other chemicals, this does mean
not inert towards e.g. biomolecules. Apparently this effect accounts for the
added toxicity of such compounds.

Oliver patted the old gun on its long barrel. It was so sleek
looking, a relic of the beginning of the fifty year old war.
He pulled the four shells out of his pocket which he had 
toyed with all the way home. He knew exactly what to do,
since he had read the war books since the first day he could
read. And before that, he had always had his dad read him the
war stories before bed time. Oliver slipped them into the 
loading slot and heard them clink into position.

Remington's processor clicked furiously. He had awaited this 
moment for forty-seven long years since he had been retired.
Sitting here in dull boredom. He thought of killing the boy, 
but realized he could be used, in addition to the fact that
it would be a waste of the only four bullets he had had access
to in almost five decades.

No, he would take out his captor.

"Oliver?", the boy's dad poked his head into the room. The
gun swivelled at half light speed and the man's head 
metamorphosed into a cloud of red fury.

Six year old Oliver clapped his hands on his knees in joy.
War was right up his alley! Again he patted the barrel.
He hoped mom would be home soon.
