Chemistry:Cyclopentanol
From HandWiki
Cyclopentanol or cyclopentyl alcohol is the organic compound with the formula (CH
2)
4CHOH. It is classified as a cyclic alcohol.
Synthesis and reactions
The bio-derived "platform chemical" furfural can be efficiently converted to cyclopentanol by hydrodeoxygenation using a copper catalyst.[1] or a nickelcobalt catalyst.[2]
Cyclopentanol can then be easily dehydrated to cyclopentene, which in turn can be converted to cyclopentyl methyl ether.
Cyclopentanol is an intermediate in the oxidation of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone.[3]
