cis-2-methylcyclopentanol; CAS No.: 25144-05-2; cis-2-methylcyclopentanol. PROPERTIES: This cyclopentanol derivative has molecular formula C6H12O. It typically appears as a colorless liquid. The cis-2-methylcyclopentanol demonstrates moderate solubility in water and good solubility in common organic solvents like ether and acetone. Its boiling point ranges between 115-120 C, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 100.16 g/mol. When handling, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and use of proper respiratory protection. Storage should be in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. The compound is sensitive to strong oxidizing agents and may form peroxides upon prolonged storage. In case of eye contact, immediate rinsing with water for 15 minutes is necessary. APPLICATIONS: The cis-2-methylcyclopentanol functions as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates where the cyclopentanol ring provides essential structural features for receptor binding (as detailed in medicinal chemistry literature). Additionally, the compound serves as a building block in the preparation of agrochemicals with fungicidal activity, though this application is mentioned only for informational purposes per your request. The hydroxyl group can be further functionalized through etherification or esterification reactions to produce various derivatives for chemical research applications.
