2-Pentanol (IUPAC name: pentan-2-ol; also called '''sec-amyl alcohol') is an organic chemical compound. It is used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacturing of other chemicals. 2-Pentanol is a component of many mixtures of amyl alcohols sold industrially. 2-Pentanol is chiral and thus can be obtained as either of two stereoisomers designated as (R)-(−)-2-pentanol and (S'')-(+)-2-pentanol.
