CAS 538-68-1

Pentylbenzene

Description:

Pentylbenzene, with the CAS number 538-68-1, is an organic compound classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon. It consists of a benzene ring substituted with a pentyl group, which is a five-carbon straight-chain alkyl group. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits a characteristic aromatic odor. Pentylbenzene is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger aromatic compounds, making it volatile. The compound is primarily used as a solvent and in organic synthesis, serving as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. Additionally, pentylbenzene can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the electron-donating nature of the pentyl group, which can influence its reactivity. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating proper handling and storage protocols in laboratory and industrial settings.

1-Pentylbenzene

CAS: 538-68-1

1-Pentylbenzene is a nonpolar solvent that is used in the production of polymers and plastics. It can also be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. 1-Pentylbenzene has been shown to have a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) retention time of 18 minutes, which means it is soluble in water. This chemical is toxic to humans and causes liver damage when ingested or inhaled. 1-Pentylbenzene may also react with hydrochloric acid under certain conditions to produce cyclohexane ring, a metabolite that reacts with hydroxyl group to form phenols and chlorohydrins, which are toxic substances. 1-Pentylbenzene has been shown to inhibit cell growth in human lung cancer cells HL-60 by inhibiting protein synthesis through the inhibition of peptide hormones such as insulin and glucagon. The mechanism for this inhibition may be due to its
