Application

1,5-Pentanediol can be used:
  • As a monomer for the synthesis of biocompatible polyesters,[1] polycarbonates[2] and polyurethanes.[3]
  • As an oxygen precursor for the formation of thin film of ZnO via atomic layer deposition.[4]
  • For the enantioselective convergent synthesis of (+)-spirolaxine methyl ether, ′helicobactericidal agent found in white rot fungi′.[5]
