General description

2-Methyl-2-pentanol is a metabolite found in the urine of rats exposed to methylpentane.

Application

2-Methyl-2-pentanol has been used to study its antagonist activity. It reacts with a second target site to alter the spatial relation between the hydrophobic agonist binding site and the allosteric site.
