3-Phenyl Pentane

A Complete Summary On Phenylpentane – Vinati Organics

Posted on: September 30, 2022

3-phenyl pentane is a valuable chemical to have on hand for your manufacturing projects. To avoid harm, make proper use of the compound.

3-Phenylpentane is a five-carbon chain that contains a phenyl group on the third carbon atom. It is alkyl benzene that is excellent for perfumery. Alkylbenzenes are benzene derivatives in which alkyl groups of varying sizes replace one or more hydrogen atoms. They are a type of aromatic hydrocarbon. Toluene is the most basic member, in which a methyl group replaces a hydrogen atom of benzene.

Overview:

The CAS number of the chemical phenylpentane is 538-68-1. Phenylpentane has the molecular formula C11H16 and a molecular weight of 148.24. It is critical to understand that this chemical is highly flammable and that certain precautions must be taken when working with 3phenylpentane. Because of its physical properties, it is primarily used in the flavour and perfumery industries.

The physical state of 3-phenyl pentane is liquid and colourless. The refractive index of Phenylpentane is 1.48600 to 1.49000 at 20.00°C with alogP (o/w) of 4.900. It has a boiling point of 205°C (lit.), a melting point of -75°C (lit.) and its density is 0.863 g/mL at 25°C (lit.). The flash point of this chemical is 65°C – c.c. When it comes to solubility, 3phenylpentane is insoluble in H2O, soluble in alcohol and miscible in benzene and diethyl ether. The bisphenol A dimethacrylate (BADMA) monolithic column can be used to elute pentylbenzene. Pentylbenzene is soluble in lithium 1-perfluorooctanoate micelles, which can be determined by increasing the surfactant concentration.

 

Properties

This chemical has several commercially appealing properties, including high density, low viscosity, flammability (making it easy to store), compatibility with a wide range of solvents, and no toxicity due to its inactivity on healthy living tissue.

Chemical extraction or recovery processes, drying agents, synthetic material preparation such as lubricants or fragrances production, waste management, and fuel replacement for liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline are the main industrial applications for 3-phenylpentane.
