2-(pentyloxy)ethanol

Description:
2-(Pentyloxy)ethanol, with the CAS number 6196-58-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ether and alcohol functional groups. It features a five-carbon pentyloxy group attached to a two-carbon ethanol backbone, which contributes to its unique properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a moderate boiling point and is soluble in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group, which enhances its polarity. The pentyloxy group imparts hydrophobic characteristics, making the compound amphiphilic, allowing it to interact with both polar and nonpolar substances. 2-(Pentyloxy)ethanol is often used as a solvent or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of surfactants and other chemical derivatives. Its relatively low toxicity and biodegradability make it a candidate for various applications in the chemical industry, including formulations in cosmetics and personal care products. However, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to mitigate any potential health risks.
