There are eight possible isomers of amyl; see under pentyl for more information.

In older literature, the common non-systematic name "amyl" was often used for the pentyl group.

An isopentyl group is a subset of the generic pentyl group.

The free radical pentyl was studied by Pacansky and Gutierrez in 1983.

Pentan-1-yl is an example of a name by this method, and is synonymous with Pentyl from the previous guideline.

In the most common homologue, the pentyl chain is replaced with a propyl (3-carbon) chain.

It is referred to as pentyl valerate or amyl pentanoate using classical nomenclature.

Replacement of the piperidinyl by pentyl or a heptyl chain gave the compounds agonistic properties.

The ester formed from butyric acid and 1-pentanol, pentyl butyrate, smells like apricot.

They are only different by the pentyl sidechain being replaced by a butyl sidechain.

Conversely, the name pentyl was used for several five-carbon branched alkyl groups, distinguished by various prefixes.

The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule.

Ethyl valerate and pentyl valerate are used as food additives because of their fruity flavors.

The first step in the pentyl cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway is the combination of olivetolic acid with geranyl pyrophosphate.

KM-233 differs from Δ8-THC by the pentyl sidechain being replaced by a 1,1-dimethylbenzyl group.

In organic chemistry, pentyl is a five-carbon alkyl functional group (substituent) with chemical formula -CH.

It is closely related to pentyl butyrate and pentyl pentanoate, both of which are also present in fruits.

For instance, the substituents methyl (-CH) and pentyl (CH).

Pentyl propanoate (also known as amyl propionate) is an organic ester formed by the condensation of pentanol and propanoic acid.

Pentyl pentanoate (CHCOO.

In France, the sale of products containing butyl nitrite, pentyl nitrite, or isomers thereof, has been prohibited since 1990 on grounds of danger to consumers.

Human metabolites were similar although most metabolism took place on the indole ring and pentyl side chain, and the hydroxylated metabolites were extensively conjugated with glucuronide.

Structurally it closely resembles cannabinoid compounds from patent WO 2003/035005 but with an indole core instead of indazole, and a simple pentyl chain on the indole 1-position.

In organic chemistry, amyl is the old trivial name for the alkyl substituent and radical called pentyl under the IUPAC nomenclature: that is, -CH.

Recent studies by Mobarak et al. (1978) of Cannabis grown in Afghanistan at 1,300 meters (4,350 feet) elevation show that significantly more propyl cannabinoids are formed than the respective pentyl homo- logs.
