5-Phenylpentanol has a floral, carnation, rose-like odor.
clear colorless to pale yellow liquid
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
ChEBI: 5-Phenyl-1-pentanol is an aliphatic alcohol.
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.
5-Phenyl-1-pentanol undergoes oxidation in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate to yield 2-benzyltetrahydrofuran.
