:4,4-Dimethyl-2-pentanol
Description:
4,4-Dimethyl-2-pentanol is an organic compound classified as a tertiary alcohol due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom that is connected to three other carbon atoms. Its molecular formula is C7H16O, indicating it consists of seven carbon atoms, sixteen hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless liquid with a characteristic alcohol odor. It has a relatively low boiling point compared to other alcohols, which makes it volatile. 4,4-Dimethyl-2-pentanol is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in chemical synthesis. The presence of the two methyl groups at the 4-position contributes to its branched structure, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. As with many alcohols, it can participate in reactions such as dehydration and oxidation, making it a versatile compound in organic chemistry.
