Application

1,5-Pentanediol can be used:
  • As a monomer for the synthesis of biocompatible polyesters, polycarbonates and polyurethanes.
  • As an oxygen precursor for the formation of thin film of ZnO via atomic layer deposition.
  • For the enantioselective convergent synthesis of (+)-spirolaxine methyl ether, ′helicobactericidal agent found in white rot fungi′.
