Description General description 5-Benzyloxy-1-pentanol (5-(benzyloxy)pentan-1-ol) has been synthesized by reacting pentane-1,5-diol with benzyl chloride. Its enthalpy of vaporization at boiling point has been determined. Application 5-Benzyloxy-1-pentanol (5-(benzyloxy)pentan-1-ol) may be used as a starting material in the synthesis of 5-benzyloxypentanal and (±)tanikolide. Packaging 5 mL in glass bottle
