Cyclopentane-1,2-diyldimethanol, with the CAS number 75658-83-2, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure featuring a cyclopentane ring with two hydroxymethyl groups (-CH2OH) attached to the first and second carbon atoms. This compound is a diol, which means it contains two alcohol functional groups, contributing to its potential for hydrogen bonding and solubility in polar solvents. Cyclopentane-1,2-diyldimethanol is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate viscosity. Its chemical properties include reactivity typical of alcohols, such as the ability to undergo oxidation and esterification reactions. The presence of the cyclopentane ring adds to its stability and influences its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point. This compound may find applications in organic synthesis, as a building block in the preparation of more complex molecules, or in materials science due to its potential as a monomer or additive. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
