| Additional Infomation |
Secondary pentanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong odor. It is moderately toxic upon ingestion, and its vapor may irritate the skin and eyes. The vapor is heavier than air. Pentyl-3-ol is a secondary alcohol formed by replacing a hydroxyl group at the 3-position of pentane. It is produced by plants and is a component of sex pheromones released by insects. It can be used as a pheromone, biomarker, plant metabolite, and fuel additive. It is a secondary alcohol and also a pentanol. 3-Pentylol has been reported to be present in ginger (Zingiber mioga), cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica), and several other organisms with relevant data.
3-Pentanol (CAS#: 584-02-1) has the molecular formula C5H12O and a molecular weight of 88.15. It is a secondary alcohol widely used as a flavoring agent, organic solvent, and chemical intermediate. The compound is used as a reagent in the synthesis of bromopentanes and as a flotation agent for ores. |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (28.36 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (28.36 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
