Isoprenol, also known as 3-methylbut-3-en-1-ol, is a hemiterpene alcohol. It is produced industrially as an intermediate to 3-methylbut-2-en-1-ol (prenol): global production in 2001 can be estimated as 6–13 thousand tons.
Prenol, or 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, is a natural alcohol. It is one of the most simple terpenoids . It is a clear colorless oil that is reasonably soluble in water and miscible with most common organic solvents.
The addition can be promoted with base [1] (Favorskii reaction) or with Lewis acid catalysts. [2] 2-Methylbut-3-yn-2-ol is produced on an industrial scale as a precursor to terpenes and terpenoids. 2-Methylbut-3-yn-2-ol is an intermediate in this industrial route to geraniol. [3] 2-Methylbut-3-yn-2-ol also is used as a monoprotected version of ...
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 ]
Crotyl groups attached to R. A crotyl group is an organic functional group with the formula RCH 2 CH=CHCH 3. [1] Systematically, it is called a but-2-en-1-yl group and exhibits geometric isomerism, being either cis (Z) or trans (E).
Oleyl alcohol / ˈ oʊ l i ˌ ɪ l, ˈ oʊ l i əl /, [1] or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol, is an unsaturated fatty alcohol with the molecular formula C 18 H 36 O or the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 −CH=CH−(CH 2) 8 OH. It is a colorless oil, mainly used in cosmetics.
3,5,5-Trimethyl-1-hexanol is a nine carbon primary alcohol, and it makes up the mixture isononanol along with isononyl alcohol. It is used for fragrance in many toiletries and household cleaning products. Between one and ten metric tonnes are produced every year for use as a fragrance. [1]
Cinnamyl alcohol or styron [2] is an organic compound that is found in esterified form in storax, Balsam of Peru, and cinnamon leaves. It forms a white crystalline solid when pure, or a yellow oil when even slightly impure.
