2,3-DIMETHYL-1-PENTANOL Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

General Description

Clear colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2,3-DIMETHYL-1-PENTANOL is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.

Fire Hazard

2,3-DIMETHYL-1-PENTANOL is combustible.
