    Pentyl is a five- carbon alkyl group or substituent with chemical formula -C 5 H 11. It is the substituent form of the alkane pentane . In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group. Conversely, the name pentyl was used for several five-carbon branched alkyl groups, distinguished by various prefixes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Bromopentane

    1-Bromopentane or amyl bromide is a bromoalkane and isomer of bromopentane. It is a colorless liquid. It is found as a natural product in Fucus vesiculosus. Preparation. Most 1-bromoalkanes are prepared by free-radical addition of hydrogen bromide to the 1-alkene, which is 1-pentene in the case of 1-bromopentane.

  6. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    Alkyl group. In organic chemistry, an alkyl group is an alkane missing one hydrogen. [1] The term alkyl is intentionally unspecific to include many possible substitutions. An acyclic alkyl has the general formula of −CnH2n+1. A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula ...

    Neopentyl alcohol was the first described in 1891 by L. Tissier, who prepared it by reduction of a mixture of trimethyl acetic acid and trimethylacetyl chloride with sodium amalgam. [4] Neopentyl alcohol can be converted to neopentyl iodide by treatment with triphenylphosphite / methyl iodide: [5] (CH 3) 3 CCH 2 OH + [CH 3 (C 6 H 5 O) 3 P] + I ...
