Product Name:1,5-Pentanediol
CAS Number:111-29-5
Molecular formula:C5H12O2
Molecular Weight:104.15

1,5-Pentanediol usually is produced by catalytic hydrogenation of glutaric acid or of its esters, e.g., dimethyl glutarate, although dicarboxylic acid mixtures containing glutaric acid also may be used, giving typically a mixture of 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, and 1,6-hexanediol. A process using alkoxydihydropyrans as raw materials has also been reported. The crude products are purified by distillation.
