General description

5-Benzyloxy-1-pentanol (5-(benzyloxy)pentan-1-ol) has been synthesized by reacting pentane-1,5-diol with benzyl chloride.[1] Its enthalpy of vaporization at boiling point has been determined.[2]

Application

5-Benzyloxy-1-pentanol (5-(benzyloxy)pentan-1-ol) may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of 5-benzyloxypentanal and (±)tanikolide.[3]
