N-pentanol appears as a colorless liquid with a mild to moderately strong ... Used as a solvent and to make other chemicals.
Amyl alcohol describes any saturated aliphatic alcohol containing five carbon atoms. This class consists of three pentanols, four substituted butanols, and a disubstituted propanol, ie, eight structural isomers C5H12O: four primary, three secondary, and one tertiary alcohol.
Isoamylol is an primary alcohol that is butan-1-ol in which a hydrogen at position 3 has been replaced by a methyl group. It has a role as a xenobiotic metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and an antifungal agent. It is a primary alcohol, a volatile organic compound and an alkyl alcohol.
Methyl Amyl Alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor. It is used as a solvent for dyes, oils, gums, resins and waxes, and in brake fluid.hree significant commercial processes for the production of amyl alcohols include separation from fusel oils, chlorination of C-5 alkanes with subsequent hydrolysis to produce a mixture of seven of the eight isomers (Pennsalt), and a low pressure oxo process. The oxo process is the principal one in practice today.
