Product Overview

n-Amyl Alcohol 99% AR (CAS No. 71-41-0) is a straight-chain primary alcohol that combines moderate polarity from its terminal hydroxyl group with the solvent character of a five-carbon hydrocarbon chain. This balance supports the dissolution, extraction, and partitioning of suitable organic substances while allowing the compound to participate in characteristic alcohol reactions when required.

The AR grade is intended for analytical reagent preparation, quality-control testing, research, and laboratory procedures requiring controlled reagent composition. It is suitable for solvent-extraction work, preparation of compatible analytical solutions, phase-distribution studies, and wet-chemical procedures in which consistent solvent behaviour is important.

Typical Applications

• Solvent for compatible analytical reagents and sample solutions
• Extraction and separation of suitable organic compounds
• Solvent extraction of selected metal complexes
• Liquid–liquid partition and distribution studies
• Solubility and phase-behaviour investigations
• Routine analytical, quality-control, and research laboratory work

Common Synonyms

• 1-Pentanol
• Pentan-1-ol
• n-Pentanol
• n-Pentyl Alcohol
• Normal Amyl Alcohol

Storage Conditions

Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Protect the product from heat, direct sunlight, ignition sources, evaporation, and contamination. Reseal the container promptly after dispensing to preserve its composition and analytical reagent quality.
