STRUCTURAL AND SAFETY CHARACTERIZATION OF 3-METHYLPENTAN-1-OL
Abstract
This study presents an integrated analysis of 3-methylpentan-1-ol (C_{6}H_{14}O), focusing on its structural identification through high-resolution ^1H NMR spectroscopy and its industrial safety profile. We examine the electronic environment of its fourteen protons and the symmetry-breaking effects of the C3 chiral center. Furthermore, a toxicological assessment confirms its safety as a fragrance ingredient under current exposure levels.
