Butane- 1,4-diol dilemma
I reason that the following reaction will take place:

Is there any way to eliminate the secondary alcohol via an additional chemical process, or stop it from forming altogether? This is my dilemma.

GHB?
No seriously i head that at high temperature more 1,3-diol was produced, maybe the inverse is true (or maybe it's at low temp...), anyway, maybe
just by playing with temp could help, or simply make a big batch then try to separate them after?...

I'll do what you suggested and get back to you on that one.
Is that some kind of chat slang?

1,4-butanediol is a precursor of GHB (along with so many other OTC) and when drinked like this in is pure form is transformed into GHB in the liver
(So you trip if you drink this substance, but it taste awful (heard from erowid)), anyway 1,4-butanediol is available OTC as a decapant, why do you
want to make some, the challenge?
