Isoamyl formate

Description:
Isoamyl formate, with the CAS number 110-45-2, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is formed from the reaction of isoamyl alcohol and formic acid. This colorless liquid is known for its characteristic fruity odor, reminiscent of pears or bananas, making it useful in the flavor and fragrance industries. Isoamyl formate has a relatively low boiling point and is less dense than water, which contributes to its volatility. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is generally considered to be non-toxic at low concentrations, although it should be handled with care due to potential irritant properties. Isoamyl formate is often used as a flavoring agent in food products and as a solvent in various chemical applications. Its pleasant aroma and low toxicity make it a popular choice in the formulation of perfumes and other scented products. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, reverting to its alcohol and acid components.
