Product Information

• Name: Isohexanol
• Synonyms: 4-Methyl-1-pentanolAnglamol 6085UNSC 91492
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Isohexanol is a chemical cross-linking agent that reacts with amines to form amide bonds. It is used in the synthesis of polyvinylpyrrolidone, which is an important component of pharmaceutical preparations. Isohexanol has been shown to react with glycol ethers to form ether adducts and has been used as a kinetic study reagent. The chemical reactions of isohexanol depend on its pH level, which can range from acidic (pH 2) to neutral (pH 7). At lower pH ranges, isohexanol will undergo side-chain cleavage to form methyl myristate, which is a fatty acid. Higher pH levels result in the formation of methyl ethyl and other volatile products.
