Tertiary alcohols are compounds in which a hydroxy group, -OH, is attached to a saturated carbon atom R3COH (R not H ). 2-methylpentan-2-ol is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-methylpentan-2-ol is a pungent tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as red bell pepper, pepper (c. annuum), orange bell pepper, and apple, which makes 2-methylpentan-2-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1,1-Dimethylbutanol 2-Hydroxy-2-methylpentane 2-Methyl-2-hydroxypentane 2-Methyl-2-pentanol 2-Methylpentan-2-ol Dimethyl propyl carbinol C6H14O 102.1748 102.10446507 2-methylpentan-2-ol 2-methyl-2-pentanol 590-36-3 CCCC(C)(C)O InChI=1S/C6H14O/c1-4-5-6(2,3)7/h7H,4-5H2,1-3H3 WFRBDWRZVBPBDO-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tertiary alcohols.
