Description1-Pentanol, also known as 1-pentyl alcohol or amylalkohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. Primary alcohols are compounds comprising the primary alcohol functional group, with the general structure RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl). Thus, 1-pentanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol. 1-Pentanol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 1-Pentanol.
