Product Overview

iso-Amyl Alcohol 99% AR (CAS No. 123-51-3) is a branched primary alcohol whose terminal hydroxyl group provides moderate polarity while its five-carbon structure contributes useful organic-solvent character. This combination supports the dissolution, extraction, and partitioning of compatible substances and allows the compound to serve as a controlled solvent medium in solution-based laboratory procedures.

The AR grade is intended for analytical reagent preparation, quality-control testing, research, and laboratory work requiring controlled composition. It is suitable for preparing compatible analytical solutions, carrying out liquid–liquid extraction, and investigating solubility or phase-distribution behaviour where dependable solvent performance is important.

Typical Applications

• Solvent for compatible analytical reagents and sample solutions
• Liquid–liquid extraction of suitable organic compounds
• Extraction of selected metal complexes
• Preparation of reagent mixtures and organic analytical media
• Solubility, partition, and phase-distribution studies
• Routine analytical, quality-control, and research laboratory work

Common Synonyms

• Isoamyl Alcohol
• Isopentyl Alcohol
• 3-Methyl-1-butanol
• 3-Methylbutan-1-ol
• Isobutyl Carbinol

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Protect the product from heat, direct sunlight, ignition sources, evaporation, and contamination. Reseal the container promptly after dispensing to preserve its composition and analytical reagent quality.
