5-Methoxypentan-1-ol, with the CAS number 4799-62-6, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a five-carbon chain (pentan-1-ol) with a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the fifth carbon. This compound is classified as a primary alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl group (-OH) at the terminal position of the carbon chain. It is typically a colorless liquid with a mild odor, and it is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group. The methoxy group contributes to its reactivity and can participate in various chemical reactions, including etherification and esterification. 5-Methoxypentan-1-ol may be used in the synthesis of other organic compounds and could have applications in the fragrance and flavor industries. As with many alcohols, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may be flammable and can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
