Cyclopentanol CAS 96-41-3 Purity >99.5% (GC) Factory

Cyclopentanol (CAS: 96-41-3) is mainly used for organic synthesis intermediates, used for the production of pharmaceutical raw materials, dyes, perfumes. It is also used for solvent of drugs and spices. Cyclopentanol is a versatile compound used as a building block, intermediate, and solvent. Cyclopentanol is the simplest member of the class of cyclopentanols bearing a single hydroxy substituent. The parent of the class of cyclopentanols. 

Reactivity Profile Cyclopentanol 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.

Health Hazard May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
