3-Ethyl-3-pentanol

Description:
3-Ethyl-3-pentanol, with the CAS number 597-49-9, is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its molecular formula C7H16O. This compound features a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a tertiary carbon, which contributes to its unique properties. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a characteristic alcohol odor. The presence of the ethyl group and the pentanol backbone influences its solubility, making it moderately soluble in water while being more soluble in organic solvents. 3-Ethyl-3-pentanol exhibits a relatively low boiling point compared to longer-chain alcohols, which is typical for tertiary alcohols due to steric hindrance that affects hydrogen bonding. This compound is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Additionally, it may have implications in flavor and fragrance industries due to its pleasant odor profile. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it can be flammable and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
