CAS 18729-48-1: 3-Methylcyclopentanol

Description:3-Methylcyclopentanol is a cyclic alcohol characterized by a cyclopentane ring with a methyl group and a hydroxyl group attached to the third carbon. Its molecular formula is C6H12O, indicating it contains six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic cyclopentane structure. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts alcohol-like properties, making it capable of participating in hydrogen bonding, which influences its boiling point and reactivity. 3-Methylcyclopentanol can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may also find applications in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its pleasant aroma. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the steric effects of the methyl group, which can affect reactivity and interaction with other molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
