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.
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 .
2-Bromopentane is a bromoalkane and isomer of bromopentane. It is a colorless liquid. 2-Bromopentane is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as ( R )-2-bromopentane and ( S )-2-bromopentane, or as a racemic 1:1 mixture of the two enantiomers .
5-Amino-1-pentanol is an amino alcohol with a primary amino group and a primary hydroxy group at the ends of a linear C 5-alkanes.As a derivative of the platform chemical furfural (that is easily accessible from pentoses), 5-amino-1-pentanol may become increasingly important in the future as a building block for biodegradable polyesteramides and as a starting material for valerolactam — the ...
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 ]

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava has been cleared to play Saturday night when the sixth-ranked Volunteers face No. 11 Georgia in a game with major College Football Playoff ramifications.
Pentanal undergoes the reactions characteristic of any alkyl aldehyde, i.e., oxidations, condensations, and reductions. 2-Octanone, produced for use in the fragrance industry, is obtained by the condensation of acetone and pentanal, followed by hydrogenation of the alkene.
