:Pentanal, 2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-, (S)-
Description:
Pentanal, 2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-, (S)-, also known as (S)-2-ethyl-2-hydroxypentanal, is an organic compound characterized by its chiral center, which contributes to its specific stereochemistry. This compound features a pentanal backbone, indicating it is an aldehyde with a five-carbon chain, and it possesses a hydroxyl (-OH) group and an ethyl substituent at the second carbon. The presence of the hydroxyl group suggests that it can engage in hydrogen bonding, which may influence its solubility in polar solvents. As a chiral molecule, it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (S)- configuration being one of them, which can have implications in biological activity and interactions. The compound is likely to exhibit typical aldehyde reactivity, such as oxidation and condensation reactions. Its specific properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and reactivity, would depend on the molecular structure and functional groups present. Overall, this compound may have applications in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceuticals or fragrance industries due to its unique structural features.
