CAS 590-36-3: 2-Methyl-2-pentanol

Description:2-Methyl-2-pentanol, with the CAS number 590-36-3, is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its molecular formula C6H14O. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to the second carbon of a pentane chain, with a methyl group also on the second carbon, contributing to its branched structure. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic alcohol odor. It is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, although its solubility is limited compared to smaller alcohols. 2-Methyl-2-pentanol exhibits moderate volatility and has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger alcohols. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in organic synthesis. The compound is also of interest in the study of alcohols due to its unique branching, which affects its physical and chemical properties, such as boiling point and reactivity. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
