2-Methyl-1-butanol

Description:

2-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 five-carbon chain, specifically at the first carbon, with a methyl group on the second carbon. This structure contributes to its unique properties, including a relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, making it more soluble than longer-chain alcohols but less so than smaller alcohols. 2-Methyl-1-butanol is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, often described as fruity or similar to that of bananas. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the production of flavorings and fragrances, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it exhibits moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it. Its chemical behavior includes typical alcohol reactions, such as dehydration and oxidation, which can lead to the formation of various derivatives.

2-Methyl-1-butanol

CAS: 137-32-6

2-Methyl-1-butanol is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It is a byproduct of the fermentation process and has been shown to inhibit locomotor activity in mice. 2-Methyl-1-butanol also inhibits the activities of several enzymes, including amylase, lipase, and esterase. This compound is stable at room temperature and does not react with other substances. It has a linear calibration curve and can be used for analytical purposes. 2-Methyl-1-butanol has two hydroxyl groups, one on each end of the molecule, which can form hydrogen bonds to other molecules. The fatty acid chain in this compound may also help to bind more hydrogen bonds than other compounds with shorter chains do. The high degree of unsaturation in 2-methyl butanol leads to thermal expansion properties that are greater than those of ethyl decanoate or methyl ethyl acetate.
