CAS 75-84-3

Neopentyl alcohol

Description:

Neopentyl alcohol, with the CAS number 75-84-3, is a branched-chain alcohol characterized by its unique structure, which consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four other carbon atoms, making it a highly symmetrical compound. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a mild odor and is soluble in water and organic solvents. Neopentyl alcohol has a relatively high boiling point compared to other alcohols due to its branching, which affects its intermolecular forces. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including plasticizers, resins, and surfactants. Additionally, neopentyl alcohol is valued in the production of lubricants and as a building block in organic synthesis. Its chemical formula is C5H12O, and it exhibits typical alcohol properties, such as the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which contributes to its solubility and reactivity. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.

2,2-Dimethyl-1-propanol

CAS: 75-84-3

2,2-Dimethyl-1-propanol (DMPA) is an inorganic acid that can be used as a coagulant for wastewater treatment. It has been shown to be effective in removing malonic acid from water at pH 4.0 and below. The reaction mechanism of DMPA is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve the formation of a hydroxyl group on the methyl group of DMPA, which then reacts with the acid and releases hydrogen ions. The hydrogen ions react with sodium carbonate to form sodium bicarbonate and release water vapor. This process continues until all the DMPA has reacted or until there is no more acid present. Asymmetric synthesis of DMPA is possible using neopentyl alcohol and fatty acids as starting materials.
