    1-Methoxypentane CAS 628-80-8

    1-Methoxypentane, also known as methyl pentyl ether, is a low-boiling aliphatic ether classified as a chemical used primarily as a solvent or auxiliary component in organic synthesis and process chemistry applications. With a simple ether functional group and defined molecular structure (CAS 628-80-8), it is suitable for use in reaction media, extraction processes, or formulation systems where moderate polarity and volatility are required. Industrial availability includes competitive factory pricing, support for customized specifications, and complete documentation such as MSDS, TDS, COA, enabling stable bulk supply for standardized industrial use.

    Application Areas

    Solvent: Used as a solvent in organic synthesis, especially suitable for water sensitive reaction systems. Replacing some toxic solvents (such as chlorinated hydrocarbons) is in line with the trend of green chemistry.
    Intermediate: Participate in the synthesis of other compounds, such as esters and ether derivatives.
    Fuel additive: As a high octane component, it has the potential to be used as a gasoline additive
    Other fields: Potential applications in industries such as spices, coatings, adhesives, etc

    Storage conditions

    Inert gas protection: It is recommended to store in an inert gas environment such as nitrogen or argon to avoid oxidation caused by contact with air.
    Temperature control: The storage temperature should be maintained at a low temperature of 2-8 ° C, as high temperatures may cause decomposition or volatilization.
    Sealed and dark: Use a sealed container (such as glass or corrosion-resistant plastic) and place it in a cool and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight
    Isolate oxidants and acids: They should be placed separately from strong oxidants, halogens, etc. to prevent chemical reactions.

    Safety precautions

    – Highly flammable liquid and vapor; keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
    – May cause mild skin and eye irritation; use protective gloves and goggles.
    – Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible substances

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Do 1-Methoxypentane and Methyl Pentyl Ether refer to the same substance?

      A: Yes. These names describe the same molecular structure and correspond to a single CAS registration, indicating identical substance identity.
    • Q:

      Is 1-Methoxypentane mainly used as a solvent rather than a reactive intermediate?

      A: It is primarily used as a solvent or auxiliary chemical in organic synthesis and processing, rather than as a highly reactive intermediate.
