Application

Cyclopentanol can be used as:
  • An alkylating agent in the preparation of alkylated aromatic compounds using Fe3+-montmorillonite catalyst via Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction.
  • A reactant in the acylation of alcohols with an acid anhydride or acid chloride.
  • A substrate in the synthesis of high-density polycyclic aviation fuel by the Guerbet reaction.

Cyclopentanone 1,2-monooxygenase, a flavoprotein produced by Pseudomonas sp. strain NCIMB 9872 upon induction by cyclopentanol or cyclopentanone (M. Griffin and P. W. Trudgill, Biochem. J. 129:595-603, 1972), has been utilized as a biocatalyst in Baeyer-Villiger oxidations. To further explore this

The one-pot sequential reaction of a chromium alkoxycarbene complex, a ketone or ester lithium enolate, and allylmagnesium bromide enabled the selective synthesis of novel diastereomerically pure pentasubstituted cyclopentanols or tetrasubstituted 1,4-cyclohexanediols, depending on the degree of substitution at the Cbeta

No bones about it: (-)-Norzoanthamine, a promising candidate for an anti-osteoporotic drug, was the target of a total synthesis (see scheme). The final bisaminal formation with AcOH/H(2)O gave the DEFG ring, while the cyclization precursor was prepared by installing the
