2,4,4-Trimethyl-1-pentanol

Description:

2,4,4-Trimethyl-1-pentanol is an organic compound classified as a tertiary alcohol due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom that is connected to three other carbon atoms. Its molecular structure features a five-carbon chain with three methyl groups located at the 2nd and 4th positions, contributing to its branched configuration. This compound is typically colorless and has a characteristic alcohol odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains. 2,4,4-Trimethyl-1-pentanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, and potentially in the formulation of fragrances and flavorings. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by its molecular structure and branching, which can affect its volatility and reactivity. As with many alcohols, it may also participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2,4,4-Trimethylpentan-1-ol (TMP) is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH3(CH2)3COH. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in most organic solvents, but insoluble in water. TMP has been shown to be carcinogenic to mice and rats when it was inhaled or injected. The carcinogenic effects of TMP are due to its ability to cause bond cleavage reactions on DNA molecules and activate oxygen radicals. TMP has also been shown to have therapeutic properties as an additive for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). When used as an MRI contrast agent, TMP helps improve the visualization of cancerous tissue by changing the relaxation time of water protons in the tissue.
