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.
1-pentanol or normal amyl alcohol primary Pentan-1-ol: 138.5 2-methyl-1-butanol or active amyl alcohol primary 2-Methylbutan-1-ol: 128.7 3-methyl-1-butanol or isoamyl alcohol or isopentyl alcohol primary 3-Methylbutan-1-ol: 131.2 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol or neopentyl alcohol primary 2,2-Dimethylpropan-1-ol: 113.1 2-pentanol or sec-amyl alcohol
When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3. If a higher priority group is present (such as an aldehyde , ketone , or carboxylic acid ), then the prefix hydroxy- is used, [ 19 ] e.g., as in 1-hydroxy-2 ...

Arachidyl alcohol (icosan-1-ol), is a waxy substance used as an emollient in cosmetics.It is a straight-chain fatty alcohol with 20 carbon atoms, typically obtained via the hydrogenation of arachidic acid or arachidonic acid, both of which are present in peanut oil.
tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [ 3 ] and more recently as a recreational drug . [ 4 ] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol . [ 5 ]
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]
2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(OH)CH 2 CH(OH)CH 3. This colourless liquid is a chiral diol . It is produced industrially from diacetone alcohol by hydrogenation . [ 4 ]
