CAS 123-51-3: 3-Methyl-1-butanol

Description:3-Methyl-1-butanol, also known as isoamyl alcohol, is a branched-chain alcohol with the molecular formula C5H12O. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a butane backbone, specifically at the first carbon, with a methyl group on the third carbon. This compound is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor reminiscent of bananas or pears. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in water, although its solubility decreases with increasing chain length in alcohols. 3-Methyl-1-butanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the production of flavorings and fragrances, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is also found in small quantities in some alcoholic beverages, contributing to their aroma. While it is generally considered to have low toxicity, exposure should still be managed, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety in both industrial and laboratory settings.
