Uses
5-Phenyl-1-pentanol was used in the synthesis of:
- methoxy and fluorine analogs of N-(piperidinyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-5-(4-pentylphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (O-1302)
- 2-[5-(4-iodophenyl)-pentyl]oxirane-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester
Definition
ChEBI: 5-Phenyl-1-pentanol is an aliphatic alcohol.
Preparation
1) from Benzaldehyde by condensation with
Butyraldehyde, followed by complete hydrogenation and reduction of the unsaturated aldehyde.
2) from Phenyl magnesium chloride and
Ethylene oxide.
3) by reduction of Phenylpentenoic acid,
ethylester.
General Description
5-Phenyl-1-pentanol undergoes oxidation in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate to yield 2-benzyltetrahydrofuran.
