2-Cyclopropylethanol（Cat No.:R060153）is a small aliphatic alcohol consisting of a cyclopropyl ring attached to the second carbon of an ethanol backbone. This compound combines the strained, reactive nature of the cyclopropyl group with the hydrophilic and nucleophilic properties of a primary alcohol. It serves as a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where cyclopropyl groups are favored for metabolic stability and conformational rigidity. The hydroxyl group allows for further derivatization into ethers, esters, or other functionalized molecules, supporting structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies.
