CAS 71-41-0

:

1-Pentanol

Description:
1-Pentanol, with the CAS number 71-41-0, is a straight-chain primary alcohol characterized by its five-carbon alkyl chain and a hydroxyl (-OH) functional group located at the terminal carbon. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a mild, pleasant odor reminiscent of that of alcohols. 1-Pentanol is soluble in water to a limited extent due to its hydrophilic hydroxyl group, while its longer hydrocarbon chain imparts hydrophobic characteristics, making it more soluble in organic solvents. The substance has a relatively low boiling point compared to larger alcohols, which allows it to be used as a solvent in various chemical reactions and processes. Additionally, 1-pentanol can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation, making it valuable in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is also utilized in the production of flavorings, fragrances, and as a potential biofuel. Safety considerations include flammability and potential irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, necessitating appropriate handling measures.
