| | 2-METHYL-1-PENTANOL Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID | | Uses | Solvent, intermediate. | | Production Methods | 2-Methyl-1-pentanol is prepared by the aldol condensation of
propionaldehyde and subsequent hydrogenation of the intermediate
2-methyl-2-pentanol. Commercially, the methyl-
1-pentanols are rarely used alone but as amixture. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 77, p. 6052, 1955 DOI: 10.1021/ja01627a077 | | General Description | Nonaqueous lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic 2-methyl-1-pentanol in a continuously operated fixed bed reactor has been reported. Molar excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of 2-methyl-1-pentanol with n-hexane and its isomers has been measured in a flow microcalorimeter. | | Hazard | Moderate fire risk. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
ingestion and skin contact. A skin and
severe eye irritant. Human systemic irritant
by inhalation. A flammable liquid; can react
with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use
Con, dry chemical. When heated to
decomposition it emits smoke and acrid
fumes. | | Purification Methods | Dry the 1-pentanol with Na2SO4 and distil it. [Beilstein 1 IV 1713.] |
