3,3-Dimethyl-1-pentanol is an organic compound classified as a branched-chain alcohol. Its molecular formula is C7H16O, indicating it contains seven carbon atoms, sixteen hydrogen atoms, and one hydroxyl (-OH) functional group. This compound features a pentanol backbone with two methyl groups attached to the third carbon, contributing to its branched structure. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic alcohol odor. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes it polar, allowing it to engage in hydrogen bonding, which influences its solubility in water and other solvents. 3,3-Dimethyl-1-pentanol has a relatively low boiling point compared to longer-chain alcohols, reflecting its smaller size and branched nature. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care due to potential flammability and health hazards associated with inhalation or skin contact.
