:Pentanamide, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-
Description:
Pentanamide, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, also known as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pentanamide, is an organic compound characterized by its amide functional group and a hydroxyethyl substituent. It features a five-carbon pentanamide backbone, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties, while the hydroxyethyl group introduces hydrophilicity due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group. This dual nature can influence its solubility in various solvents, making it potentially useful in applications such as pharmaceuticals, surfactants, or as a chemical intermediate. The compound is likely to exhibit moderate to low volatility and may have a relatively high boiling point compared to simpler amides due to the presence of the hydroxyethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. Additionally, its structure suggests potential for reactivity in various chemical reactions, including esterification or amidation. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper laboratory practices.
