4-Penten-1-ol (Cat No.: R000363) is a five-carbon unsaturated alcohol featuring a terminal hydroxyl group (-OH) and a double bond between the 4th and 5th carbon atoms. It is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and flavor compounds. The presence of both an alkene and alcohol group allows for diverse chemical modifications, including oxidation, epoxidation, and esterification. Its reactivity and bifunctionality make it useful in designing functional materials and bioactive molecules in synthetic chemistry.
