CAS 42072-39-9

Methylpentanol

Description:

Methylpentanol refers to a group of isomeric alcohols derived from pentane, characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group and a methyl group attached to the carbon chain. The specific compound associated with the CAS number 42072-39-9 is 3-methylpentan-1-ol, which features a straight-chain structure with a methyl group on the third carbon of a five-carbon chain. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a mild, pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. Methylpentanol is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemicals, and in the formulation of fragrances and flavorings. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and density, are influenced by its molecular structure, making it an interesting subject of study in organic chemistry and industrial applications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

(S)-(+)-3-Methyl-1-pentanol

CAS: 42072-39-9

(S)-(+)-3-Methyl-1-pentanol is a branched-chain, β-unsaturated aldehyde that is produced by the elimination of two molecules of water from (R)-(+)-3-methylbutanal. It is an organocatalytic substrate for the family of enzymes that catalyze the first step in the biosynthetic pathway to abiotic long-chain alcohols. The product is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of escherichia coli and other bacteria. The enzyme involved in this reaction is initially activated by acetate and then inhibited by NADH. In nature, this compound can be found as a natural product or as a metabolic intermediate.
