(S)-(+)-4-Methyl-2-pentanol

Description:

(S)-(+)-4-Methyl-2-pentanol is a chiral alcohol characterized by its specific stereochemistry, which contributes to its unique properties and potential applications. This compound features a branched structure with a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the second carbon of a five-carbon chain, making it a secondary alcohol. The presence of the methyl group at the fourth carbon enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its solubility in organic solvents while rendering it less soluble in water. The compound is typically colorless and has a mild odor, which is common among alcohols. Its chirality allows it to exhibit different biological activities compared to its enantiomer, making it of interest in pharmaceuticals and flavoring industries. Additionally, (S)-(+)-4-Methyl-2-pentanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification, which are valuable in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data indicate that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care due to potential flammability and health risks upon exposure.
