CAS 74397-18-5

1-Hydroxycyclopentanemethanol

Description:

1-Hydroxycyclopentanemethanol, with the CAS number 74397-18-5, is an organic compound characterized by its cyclopentane ring structure, which is substituted with a hydroxyl group and a methanol moiety. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with alcohols, such as being a colorless liquid at room temperature and having moderate solubility in water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The molecular structure suggests it may have applications in organic synthesis or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Its reactivity may include typical alcohol reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. Additionally, the presence of the cyclopentane ring may impart unique steric and electronic properties, influencing its behavior in chemical reactions. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure safe usage in laboratory or industrial settings.
