General description

5-Aminopentan-1-ol is a colorless to faint yellow liquid.

Application

5-amino-1-pentanol is used in the preparation of fibres from random copolypeptides consisting of N-hydroxyalkyl L-glutamine and gamma-methyl L-glutamate with different monomer ratios. 5-amino-1-pentanol (5-Aminopentan-1-ol) was also used in the preparation of 5-phthalimidopentanal and tetracyclic core of the natural compound (+/-)-dibromoagelaspongin.

A six-step synthesis of the tetracyclic core of the natural compound (+/-)-dibromoagelaspongin, isolated from Agelas sp. Sponge, was achieved from the commercially available 5-aminopentan-1-ol, 2-trichloroacetylpyrrole, and 2-aminopyrimidine. Following a biomimetic inspired approach, successive oxidative reactions including the final DMDO biomimetic

Fibres from random copolypeptides consisting of N-hydroxyalkyl L-glutamine and gamma-methyl L-glutamate with different monomer ratios were prepared by aminoalcoholysis of a poly(gamma-methyl L-glutamate) fibre with 2-amino-1-ethanol or 5-amino-1-pentanol, both with 1,8-octamethylenediamine as cross-linking agent. The initial tensile properties as well
