Fenipentol Usage And Synthesis

Aroma

Mild floral odor, slightly green, woody- barklike. One manufacturer classifies Fenipentol as "Orris-like". Useful as a fixative in Lilac or as a modifierfixative for compositions where Linalool is present.

Physical properties

White solid lumps or crystalline powder. M.P. 69°C. B.P. 285°C.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Originator

Pancoral,Eisai,Japan,1973

Uses

Biliary dyskinesia;Choleretic

Production Methods

Fenipentol can be produced by reduction of Valerophenone with Sodium.

Definition

ChEBI: Fenipentol is a member of benzenes.

Manufacturing Process

The 1-phenylpentanol-(1) may be prepared in any convenient manner. Benzaldehyde may be reacted with n-butyl-magnesium bromide, and after purification 1-phenyl-pentanol-(1) is obtained in the form of a colorless oil at room temperature.

Therapeutic Function

Choleretic

Synthesis Reference(s)
