Cyclopentanol or cyclopentyl alcohol is the organic compound with the formula (CH₂)₄CHOH. It is classified as a cyclic alcohol.

Synthesis and reactions

The bio-derived "platform chemical" furfural can be efficiently converted to cyclopentanol by hydrodeoxygenation using a copper catalyst.^[2] or a nickel cobalt catalyst.^[3]

Cyclopentanol can then be easily dehydrated to cyclopentene, which in turn can be converted to cyclopentyl methyl ether.

Cyclopentanol is an intermediate in the oxidation of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone.^[4]
