pentane-1,1-diol

Description:
Pentane-1,1-diol, also known as 1,1-pentanediol, is a diol with the molecular formula C5H12O2. It features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located at the terminal carbon of a five-carbon straight-chain alkane. This compound is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water due to the presence of its hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Pentane-1,1-diol exhibits properties typical of diols, such as increased boiling points compared to their corresponding alkanes, due to the ability to engage in hydrogen bonding. It is used in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, and potentially in the formulation of plastics and resins. The presence of two hydroxyl groups also allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
