Description

Application

3-Pentanol can be used as:

• A starting material for the preparation of liquid crystals, 1-ethylpropyl (R)-2-[4-(4′-alkoxybiphenylcarbonyloxy)-phenoxy]propionates by reacting with chiral (S)-lactic acid.
• Solvent/reductant in the catalytic deoxydehydration reaction of C₄−C₆ sugar alcohols into linear polyene using methyltrioxorhenium as a catalyst.
• A reactant for the synthesis of 3-(4-bromophenyloxy)pentane by reacting with 4-bromophenol via base-catalyzed Mitsunobu reaction.
