n-AMYL ALCOHOL 99% - 500 ml

Description

n-amyl alcohol by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as pentan-1-ol, this organic compound is a straight-chain form, one of the different isomers of amyl alcohol. This reagent is available as a colourless liquid with an unpleasant aroma which is slightly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 78 C and a boiling point of 137 to 139 C. Pentan-1-ol can be synthesized by fractional distillation of fusel oil. CAS No.: 71-41-0 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per bottle Molecular Formula: C5H12O Molecular Weight: 88.15 Assay: Minimum 99 % Liquid density: 0.811n-amyl alcohol has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent can be used as a solvent for coating CDs and DVDs. It is also involved in the synthesis of various compounds. Butyric acid reacts with pentan-1-ol to form pentyl butyrate, which smells like apricot. Similarly, it reacts with acetic acid to form amyl acetate/pentyl acetate, which smells like banana. Pentan-1-ol has all the properties necessary to replace gasoline as an internal combustion fuel, and is being researched for the same. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
