General description

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

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.

The syntheses of novel tricyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine analogues of S6-methylthioguanine are described. The crystal structures and pKa values of these and related O6-methylguanine analogues are reported. All compounds display higher pKa values than O6-methylguanine with the sulfur-containing analogues being the more
