CAS 108-11-2: 4-Methyl-2-pentanol
Description:4-Methyl-2-pentanol, with the CAS number 108-11-2, is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its five-carbon backbone and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. It features a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the pentane chain, which contributes to its branched structure. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic alcohol odor. It is moderately soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, while also being soluble in organic solvents. 4-Methyl-2-pentanol has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger alcohols, making it volatile. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of the branched structure influences its physical properties, such as lower viscosity and higher volatility compared to straight-chain alcohols. Additionally, it can participate in various chemical reactions typical of alcohols, including dehydration and oxidation, making it a versatile compound in organic chemistry.
