Pentanol isomer synthesis in engineered microorganisms

“…Amyl xanthate can come from any of the primary pentanol isomers, e.g., 1-pentanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol (The Dow Chemical Company 2002c; Lappe and Hofmann 2005). Pentanol isomers are often used as solvents for chemical reaction, liquid extraction, and products such as paint and coatings (The Dow Chemical Company 2002a, b, c; Lappe and Hofmann 2005).…”

They are especially useful as chemical intermediates or starting materials for a wide variety of products, including pharmaceuticals, antioxidants, cosmetics, herbicides, liquid crystals, dyes, flavorings, and catalysts (Gershanovskii et al 1973; The Dow Chemical Company 2002a, b, c; Lappe and Hofmann 2005).…”

Other applications for pentanols are additives for lubrication oil, corrosion inhibitors, and plasticizers and stabilizers for polymer plastics (The Dow Chemical Company 2002b, c; Lappe and Hofmann 2005).…”
