Amyl alcohol isomers; Common name Structure Type IUPAC name Boiling point (°C) [3] 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 ...
The term "amyl nitrite" encompasses several isomers.In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group, where the amyl group is a linear or normal (n) alkyl group, and the resulting amyl nitrite would have the structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 3 CH 2 ONO, also referred to as n-amyl nitrite.
In analytical chemistry, sample preparation (working-up) refers to the ways in which a sample is treated prior to its analyses. Preparation is a very important step in most analytical techniques, because the techniques are often not responsive to the analyte in its in-situ form, or the results are distorted by interfering species .
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 ...
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.
Amyl may refer to: Amylum or starch, a carbohydrate Amylopectin, a polymer of glucose found in plants; one of two components of starch; Amylose, a helical polymer made of α-D-glucose units; one of two components of starch; Pentyl, a five-carbon alkyl functional group, also known by the common non-systematic name amyl
Simon's reagent is used as a simple spot-test to presumptively identify alkaloids as well as other compounds. It reacts with secondary amines like MDMA and methamphetamine to give a blue solution. Uses
Amyl acetate (pentyl acetate) is an organic compound and an ester with the chemical formula CH 3 COO[CH 2] 4 CH 3 and the molecular weight 130.19 g/mol. It is colorless and has a scent similar to bananas [3] [4] and apples. [5] The compound is the condensation product of acetic acid and 1-pentanol.
