CH32CC2H5

CH3CH2CC2H5 is a chemical compound. Its systematic IUPAC name is pent-3-yn-1-ol. This name indicates a five-carbon chain with a triple bond starting at the third carbon atom and a hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon atom. The molecular formula for pent-3-yn-1-ol is C5H8O. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkynols, which are alcohols containing an alkyne functional group. The structure features a terminal hydroxyl group (-OH) and an internal triple bond (-C≡C-). Pent-3-yn-1-ol is a colorless liquid at room temperature. Its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, are influenced by both the polar hydroxyl group and the nonpolar hydrocarbon chain. It is soluble in many organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. This compound can be synthesized through various organic reactions, often involving the functionalization of alkynes or the introduction of a triple bond into an alcohol. Due to the presence of both a reactive triple bond and a hydroxyl group, pent-3-yn-1-ol can participate in a range of chemical transformations, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Its applications are primarily found in laboratory settings for research and the preparation of more complex molecules.
