Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Pentanol
Description2-Pentanol, also known as T-amyl alcohol or (+/-)-2-pentanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols are compounds containing a secondary alcohol functional group, with the general structure HOC(R)(R') (R,R'=alkyl, aryl). 2-Pentanol exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
