2,3-Dimethyl-1-pentanol

Description:

2,3-Dimethyl-1-pentanol is an organic compound classified as a branched-chain alcohol. Its molecular formula is C7H16O, indicating it contains seven carbon atoms, sixteen hydrogen atoms, and one hydroxyl (-OH) group. This compound features a pentanol backbone with two methyl groups attached to the second and third carbon atoms, contributing to its branched structure. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a characteristic alcohol odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes it polar, allowing it to engage in hydrogen bonding, which influences its solubility in water and other solvents. 2,3-Dimethyl-1-pentanol has applications in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by its molecular structure and branching, which can affect its reactivity and interactions with other substances. As with many alcohols, it is flammable and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions.
