1,1-Cyclopentanedimethanol, with the CAS number 5763-53-1, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopentane ring structure with two hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) groups attached to the same carbon atom. This compound is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including as a building block in organic synthesis and in the production of polymers and surfactants. The presence of two hydroxymethyl groups enhances its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and etherification. Additionally, 1,1-Cyclopentanedimethanol may exhibit properties typical of alcohols, such as moderate boiling points and the ability to act as a solvent. Safety data indicates that, like many alcohols, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation.
