Usage

General Description

2-Methylcyclopentanol is a colorless liquid with a mild odor that is used as a solvent in various industrial processes. It is a cyclic alcohol compound with the chemical formula C6H12O and a molecular weight of 100.16 g/mol. 2-Methylcyclopentanol is derived from cyclopentane and has a branched methyl group attached to the cyclopentane ring. It is flammable and can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or in contact with the skin. It is primarily used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as a reagent in chemical reactions, but it also has some minor applications in the fragrance and flavor industry.
