CAS 1565-80-6: (S)-2-Methyl-1-butanol

Description: (S)-2-Methyl-1-butanol, also known as isoamyl alcohol, is a chiral alcohol with the molecular formula C5H12O. It is characterized by a branched structure, featuring a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon of a five-carbon chain. This compound is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor reminiscent of bananas, which is often associated with its presence in various natural sources, including certain fruits and fermented products. It has a moderate boiling point and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent and in the production of flavorings and fragrances. The (S) configuration indicates that it is the specific enantiomer of 2-methyl-1-butanol, which can exhibit different properties and reactivities compared to its (R) counterpart. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis and as a potential precursor for the production of other chemical compounds. Safety considerations include flammability and potential irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
