    Amyl alcohols are alcohols with the formula C 5 H 11 OH. [1] Eight are known. A mixture of amyl alcohols (also called amyl alcohol) can be obtained from fusel alcohol.Amyl alcohol is used as a solvent and in esterification, by which is produced amyl acetate and other products.

  4. Pentyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentyl_group

    A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C 5 H 9. The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme conditions. [1] Its formula is often written "C 5 H 11 •" or "• ⁠ C 5 H 11" to indicate that it has one unsatisfied valence bond.

  5. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    Alkyl groups that contain one ring have the formula −C n H 2n−1, e.g. cyclopropyl and cyclohexyl. The formula of alkyl radicals are the same as alkyl groups, except the free valence " − " is replaced by the dot "•" and adding "radical" to the name of the alkyl group (e.g. methyl radical •CH 3 ).
