Overview
Cyclopentanol

Cyclopentanol is a colorless, viscous liquid alcohol widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and precursor in fragrance chemistry. It is a key starting material for producing cyclopentanone via catalytic dehydrogenation and serves as a building block for various cyclopentyl-substituted APIs. In the fragrance industry, cyclopentanol derivatives contribute to jasmine-type and woody aromatic notes. Its hydroxyl group on the five-membered ring provides versatile reactivity for esterification, oxidation, and etherification reactions.
