trans-2-Methylcyclopentanol（Cat No.:L045107）is a saturated, five-membered cyclic alcohol with a methyl group at the 2-position in the trans configuration relative to the hydroxyl group. This stereochemistry affects its physical and chemical properties, including boiling point, solubility, and reactivity. It serves as a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of chiral compounds and complex natural products. The trans-isomer is of interest in stereoselective synthesis and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies. Its rigid cyclopentane ring and defined stereochemistry make it valuable in pharmaceutical, fragrance, and materials chemistry research.
