Sec-pentanol, also known as 2-pentanol or hexanol-2, is an organic compound.
Appearance: colorless liquid with a peculiar alcoholic odor.
Solubility: soluble in water and most organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and so on.
Safety Information:
Secondary amyl alcohol is irritating and toxic and should be avoided by inhalation, contact with skin and ingestion. Appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and lab coat should be worn during use. Avoid contact with substances such as oxidizing agents to avoid possible hazardous reactions. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures during storage and ensure that storage containers are well sealed. In case of leakage, appropriate measures should be taken for cleanup and disposal.
