Cyclopentylmethanol

CAS: 3637-61-4

Cyclopentylmethanol is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH3OH. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water and has a distinctive, sweet odor. Cyclopentylmethanol is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, and similar materials. It reacts with chlorine at high temperatures to form chlorinated cyclopentylmethanols. This reaction can be used to synthesize hydroxyapatite (a mineral) from calcium phosphate (a mineral). Cyclopentylmethanol also reacts with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, causing them to desensitize. Hydroxyapatite can also be synthesized by reacting cyclopentylmethanol with dinucleotide phosphate and hydroxyl group containing compounds such as esters or soluble guanylate cyclase enzymes. The reactions produce hydrogen
