5-Hexyn-1-ol (CAS: 2968-04-7) is a linear acetylenic alcohol with molecular formula C6H10O. It serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis, primarily produced via the alkylation of propargyl alcohol or controlled partial hydrogenation of hexyne derivatives.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2–8°C to prevent polymerization. Use explosion-proof equipment due to flammability; wear chemical-resistant PPE during handling to avoid skin irritation and inhalation risks.
