CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID | [Production Methods]
2-Methyl-1-pentanol is prepared by the aldol condensation of
propionaldehyde and subsequent hydrogenation of the intermediate
2-methyl-2-pentanol. Commercially, the methyl-
1-pentanols are rarely used alone but as amixture. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 77, p. 6052, 1955 DOI: 10.1021/ja01627a077 | [General Description]
Nonaqueous lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of racemic 2-methyl-1-pentanol in a continuously operated fixed bed reactor has been reported. Molar excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of 2-methyl-1-pentanol with n-hexane and its isomers has been measured in a flow microcalorimeter. | [Purification Methods]
Dry the 1-pentanol with Na2SO4 and distil it. [Beilstein 1 IV 1713.] |
