Description:Pentylamine, with the CAS number 110-58-7, is a primary amine characterized by its straight-chain structure consisting of a five-carbon alkyl group (pentyl) attached to an amino group (-NH2). This colorless to pale yellow liquid has a distinctive fishy odor and is soluble in water due to the presence of the polar amino group, which allows for hydrogen bonding. Pentylamine has a relatively low boiling point and is flammable, necessitating careful handling. It is used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and as a corrosion inhibitor. The compound can also participate in reactions typical of amines, such as alkylation and acylation. Due to its basic nature, pentylamine can react with acids to form salts. Safety precautions are essential when working with pentylamine, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents is recommended to ensure safety.
