2,3,4-Trimethyl-3-pentanol(CAT: 3054-92-0) is a branched-chain alcohol featuring three methyl groups attached to a pentanol backbone, with the hydroxyl group (-OH) located at the 3rd position. This compound is typically used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fine chemicals, fragrances, and specialized materials. The presence of multiple methyl groups creates steric hindrance, which can affect the reactivity of the hydroxyl group, making it suitable for selective reactions in organic chemistry. Its structure also lends itself to use in studies of stereochemistry and branched alcohol functionality. Additionally, it can be explored for potential applications in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates or solvents.
