trans-2-Methylcyclopentanol

Description:
Trans-2-Methylcyclopentanol is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopentane ring structure with a methyl group and a hydroxyl group (alcohol) positioned on adjacent carbon atoms. This compound is a stereoisomer, specifically the trans form, which indicates that the hydroxyl group and the methyl group are located on opposite sides of the ring. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can form hydrogen bonds. The compound has a distinct odor and is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical properties include reactivity typical of alcohols, such as undergoing dehydration and oxidation reactions. The presence of the methyl group influences its physical properties, such as boiling point and density, compared to its isomers. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
