CAS 6032-29-7

2-Pentanol

Description:

2-Pentanol, with the CAS number 6032-29-7, is a secondary alcohol characterized by its five-carbon chain and a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon atom. This structural arrangement gives it the molecular formula C5H12O. 2-Pentanol is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a mild, pleasant odor reminiscent of alcohols. It is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group, while also being miscible with organic solvents like ether and chloroform. The compound has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger alcohols, which is typical for secondary alcohols. 2-Pentanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including oxidation to form ketones and dehydration to yield alkenes. It is commonly used as a solvent in chemical processes and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, it has applications in the production of fragrances and flavoring agents. Safety considerations include flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling measures.
