The nomenclature has now reversed, with "amyl" being more often used to refer to the terminally branched group also called isopentyl, as in amobarbital. 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 ...
1-Pentanol, (or n-pentanol, pentan-1-ol), is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OH and is classified as a primary alcohol. [2] It is a colourless liquid with a distinctive aroma. It is one of 8 isomeric alcohols with the formula C 5 H 11 OH. It is used as a solvent, a biological drying agent and in the synthesis of ...
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.
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] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
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. An obsolete name for it was isobutyl carbinol. [5]
