  2. Amyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyl_alcohol

    Three of these alcohols, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-pentanol, and 3-methyl-2-butanol (methyl isopropyl carbinol), contain stereocenters, and are therefore chiral and optically active. The most important amyl alcohol is isoamyl alcohol , the chief one generated by fermentation in the production of alcoholic beverages and a constituent of fusel oil .

  3. 2-Pentanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Pentanol

    2-Pentanol (IUPAC name: pentan-2-ol; also called sec-amyl alcohol) is an organic chemical compound.It is used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacturing of other chemicals. 2-Pentanol is a component of many mixtures of amyl alcohols sold industrially. 2-Pentanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(−)-2-pentanol and (S)-(+)-2-pentanol.

  4. 2-Methyl-2-pentanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Methyl-2-pentanol

    2-Methyl-2-pentanol (IUPAC name: 2-methylpentan-2-ol) is an organic chemical compound. It can be added to a gas chromatograph to help distinguish between branched compounds, especially alcohols. [2] Its presence in urine can be used to test for exposure to 2-methylpentane. [3]

  5. 2-Methyl-1-butanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Methyl-1-butanol

    2-Methyl-1-butanol (IUPAC name, also called active amyl alcohol) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3)CH 2 OH. It is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol.This colorless liquid occurs naturally in trace amounts and has attracted some attention as a potential biofuel, exploiting its hydrophobic (gasoline-like) and branched structure.

  6. 2-Methyl-1-pentanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Methyl-1-pentanol

    2-Methyl-1-pentanol (IUPAC name: 2-methylpentan-1-ol) is an organic chemical compound. It's used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals. [2] Due to its low solubility in water it has recently been suggested as a solvent in liquid–liquid extraction of ethanol from fermented feedstocks. [3]

  8. 3-Methylpentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-Methylpentane

    3-Methylpentane is a branched alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14. It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the third carbon atom in a pentane chain. It is of similar structure to the isomeric 2-methylpentane , which has the methyl group located on the second carbon of the pentane chain.

  9. Isoamyl alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoamyl_alcohol

    Isoamyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with the formula C 5 H 12 O, specifically (H 3 C–) 2 CH–CH 2 –CH 2 –OH. It is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol (pentanol). It is also known as isopentyl alcohol, isopentanol, or (in the IUPAC recommended nomenclature) 3-methyl-butan-1-ol.
