Cyclopentanol
Cyclopentanol, also known as cyclopentyl alcohol or hydroxycyclopentane, is a member of the class of compounds known as cyclopentanols. Cyclopentanols are compounds containing a cyclopentane ring that carries an alcohol group. Cyclopentanol is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cyclopentanol can be found in a number of food items such as walnut, cashew nut, cauliflower, and linden, which makes cyclopentanol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
