CAS 20618-42-2

Cyclopentanone, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-

Description:

Cyclopentanone, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 20618-42-2, is an organic compound characterized by a cyclopentanone ring with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the second carbon. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, typical of ketones. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various chemical applications. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group introduces both hydrophilic and hydrophobic characteristics, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Cyclopentanone derivatives are often used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as solvents or flavoring agents. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the ketone functional group, allowing for various chemical transformations, including oxidation and reduction reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors.
