Cyclopentanmethanol

BeschreibungCyclopentanemethanol (CPEM) is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Cyclopentanemethanol can be used as a receptor reagent for the preparation of cyclopentyl methyl β-d -glucoside (CPEM-β-G). The compound was found to have an inhibitory effect on sweet amygdalinase activity (Ki=0.15±0.02 mM). The inhibitory activity of CPEM itself on sweet amygdalinase was weak and uncompetitive type. However, the introduction of glucose molecules as glycosyl groups into CPEM converted its inhibitory type into a competitive one[1].

VerwendenCyclopentanemethanol was used to study catalytic reduction of 6-bromo-1-hexene by nickel (I) salen electrogenerated at a glassy carbon electrode in acetonitrile containing tetramethylammonium tetrafluoroborate by cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis.
