Product Overview

n-Amyl Alcohol 99% For Synthesis (CAS No. 71-41-0) is a straight-chain primary alcohol containing five carbon atoms. Its terminal hydroxyl group undergoes characteristic alcohol reactions such as esterification, oxidation, substitution, and ether formation, while the hydrocarbon chain provides useful solvency for a range of organic substances. This combination makes n-amyl alcohol a practical reagent and reaction medium in preparative organic chemistry.

The Synthesis grade is intended for laboratory synthesis, reaction development, intermediate preparation, and general research procedures requiring dependable n-amyl alcohol quality. It is suitable for producing pentyl esters and other pentyl derivatives, conducting alcohol-functionalisation reactions, and serving as a solvent or extraction medium in compatible organic systems.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of pentyl esters through esterification reactions
• Synthesis of pentyl halides, ethers, and related organic derivatives
• Solvent and reaction medium in compatible organic synthesis procedures
• Extraction and separation of suitable organic compounds
• Oxidation studies involving primary alcohols
• Preparation of intermediates for coatings, resins, and speciality chemical research
