title: 5-Amino-pentan-1-ol.
abstract: The title compound, C(5)H(13)NO, is an aliphatic amino-alcohol with both functional groups residing on terminal C atoms. Apart from the hy-droxy group, all non-H atoms are nearly co-planar, the maximum deviation of an atom taking part in the least-squares plane defined by the mentioned non-H atoms being 0.029 (1) Å. In the crystal, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
