1-Pentanol, 5,5,5-trifluoro-

Description:
1-Pentanol, 5,5,5-trifluoro- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a pentanol backbone with a trifluoromethyl group at the 5-position. Its molecular formula is C5H9F3O, indicating that it contains five carbon atoms, nine hydrogen atoms, three fluorine atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a distinctive odor typical of alcohols. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its physical and chemical properties, including increased hydrophobicity and altered boiling and melting points compared to non-fluorinated alcohols. 1-Pentanol, 5,5,5-trifluoro- is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to the presence of the hydrophobic trifluoromethyl group. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in chemical synthesis, and in the production of fluorinated compounds. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
