Application

Cyclopentanol can be used as:
  • An alkylating agent in the preparation of alkylated aromatic compounds using Fe3+-montmorillonite catalyst via Friedel–Crafts alkylation reaction.
  • A reactant in the acylation of alcohols with an acid anhydride or acid chloride.
  • A substrate in the synthesis of high-density polycyclic aviation fuel by the Guerbet reaction.

Bicyclic cyclopentane lactones, prepared from bromodeoxyaldonolactones, were transformed into aminocyclopentanols with an Overman rearrangement as the key step. Two of the compounds prepared, 7 and 19, were found to be good inhibitors of jack bean alpha-mannosidase and beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminidase, respectively.
