CAS 473-84-7

2-hydroxycyclopentanone

Description:

2-Hydroxycyclopentanone, with the CAS number 473-84-7, is a cyclic ketone characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a cyclopentanone ring. This compound features a five-membered carbon ring with a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group, making it a member of the class of compounds known as hydroxy ketones. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of both the hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and condensation. 2-Hydroxycyclopentanone is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the hydroxyl group. Its applications may include use as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Additionally, its structural features may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry.
