(~2~H_12_)Pentane(CAS: 2031-90-5)

The (~2~H_12_)Pentane (CAS: 2031-90-5) is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 36.1°C and a molecular weight of approximately 74.15 g/mol. It is moderately soluble in water but miscible with many organic solvents. It is relatively stable chemically, but it can undergo combustion with oxygen. It is used as a solvent and in the synthesis of other compounds.

(~2~H_12_)Pentane (CAS: 2031-90-5) is typically synthesized via catalytic hydrogenation of 2-methylbutane or via the reduction of 2-methylbutanal. The process involves the use of a hydrogenation catalyst such as palladium or platinum on an inert support. The yield is high, and the product is isolated by distillation.

(~2~H_12_)Pentane (CAS: 2031-90-5) is used in various industries including pharmaceuticals, as a solvent in organic synthesis, and in the production of polymers. It is also utilized in the chemical sensor industry for gas detection applications.

(~2~H_12_)Pentane (CAS: 2031-90-5) should be handled in a well-ventilated area and with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of ignition. In case of a spill, immediately clean up using appropriate absorbents and follow the safety data sheet (SDS) for further instructions.
