5-Hydroxypentanoic acid

Description:
5-Hydroxypentanoic acid, with the CAS number 13392-69-3, is a carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) within its five-carbon chain. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is soluble in water and polar organic solvents due to its hydrophilic functional groups. The hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as a hydrogen bond donor, enhancing its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. 5-Hydroxypentanoic acid can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in the development of pharmaceuticals or biodegradable polymers. Its biological properties may also be of interest, as carboxylic acids and alcohols often exhibit significant biological activity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
