(R)-(-)-4-Methyl-2-pentanol

Description:

(R)-(-)-4-Methyl-2-pentanol is a chiral alcohol characterized by its specific stereochemistry, which contributes to its unique properties and reactivity. As a secondary alcohol, it features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to two other carbon atoms. This compound has a molecular formula that reflects its carbon chain length and branching, resulting in a moderate molecular weight. It is typically a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and it is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chirality means that it can exhibit different biological activities compared to its enantiomer, making it of interest in fields such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its physical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by its molecular structure and the presence of functional groups.
