Description
Amyl alcohol has a characteristic fusel-like sweet and pleasant odor and burning taste. It is somewhat more toxic than ethyl alcohol. 1-Pentanol is a clear, colorless liquid at ambient temperatures.The air odor detection level (lowest perceptible level) was reported as 10 ppm for 1-pentanol .
1-Pentanol, (or n-pentanol, pentan-1-ol), is an alcohol with five carbon atoms and the molecular formula C5H11OH. 1-Pentanol is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant aroma. It is the straight-chain form of amyl alcohol, one of 8 isomers with that formula.
N-pentanol appears as a colorless liquid with a mild to moderately strong odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 91°F. Boiling point 280°F. Vapors heavier than air. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Vapors may irritate skin and eyes. Used as a solvent and to make other chemicals.|Liquid|COLOURLESS LIQUID WITH CHARACTERISTIC ODOUR.|colourless to pale yellow liquid
N-pentanol appears as a colorless liquid with a mild to moderately strong odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 91°F. Boiling point 280°F. Vapors heavier than air. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Vapors may irritate skin and eyes. Used as a solvent and to make other chemicals.|Pentan-1-ol is an alkyl alcohol that is pentane in which a hydrogen of one of the methyl groups is substituted by a hydroxy group. It has been isolated from Melicope ptelefolia. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is an alkyl alcohol, a primary alcohol, a pentanol and a short-chain primary fatty alcohol.
1-Pentanol Basic Attributes
Use: 1-Pentanol can be used as solvent, organic synthesis raw material and plasticizer raw material, and can also be used in the production of food flavors, flavors, pharmaceutical raw materials, flotation agents for non-ferrous metals, and antifoaming agents for boiler water. In industry, it is also the main raw material for the production of pentene, amylamine and bromopentane.
