CAS 123-44-4: 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1-pentanol

Description: 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1-pentanol is an organic compound classified as a tertiary alcohol. It features a branched structure with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the first carbon of a pentane chain, while having three methyl groups on the second and fourth carbons. This configuration contributes to its unique properties, including a relatively high boiling point compared to straight-chain alcohols due to increased steric hindrance and branching. The compound is typically colorless and has a mild, pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, reflecting its hydrophobic characteristics. 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1-pentanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemicals, and as a potential additive in fuel formulations. Its chemical stability and reactivity make it a subject of interest in both industrial and research settings. Safety considerations include flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling measures.
