Description :
1-Pentanol, also known as pentan-1-ol (CAS 71-41-0), is a clear, colourless liquid alcohol with the molecular formula C5H12O and molecular weight 88.15 g/mol. It has a mild, slightly alcoholic aroma and is insoluble in water but miscible with organic solvents.
1-Pentanol is widely used as a fragrance alcohol, chemical intermediate, and industrial solvent. Its versatility makes it essential for producing esters, aroma chemicals, and industrial formulations used in laboratories and large-scale chemical processes.
It blends well with other alcohols, esters, and aroma chemicals, enhancing top notes in perfumes and providing smooth olfactory profiles in flavour formulations.

Used as a fragrance intermediate in perfumes, body sprays, and flavour blends.
Commonly blended with Anisyl Acetate, Geranyl Caproate, and Cyclohexyl Salicylate to enhance aromatic profiles.
Provides smooth diffusion and stability in perfumes and aroma chemical formulations.
Acts as an intermediate in organic synthesis, including esters, ethers, and speciality chemicals.
Used alongside 10-Undecenal, Phenyl Ethyl Methyl Ether, and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone for chemical derivatisation.
Supports pharmaceutical and industrial chemical production.
Serves as a solvent for coatings, lubricants, and polymers.
Used in laboratory research, pilot-scale synthesis, and speciality chemical production.
Acts as a starting material for related chemicals like Limonene and Octanal.
