Isoamyl valerate

Description:
Isoamyl valerate, with the CAS number 2050-09-1, is an ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and valeric acid. It is characterized by its pleasant fruity aroma, often reminiscent of bananas or pears, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industries. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its low volatility. Isoamyl valerate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. Its chemical structure features a five-carbon valerate chain attached to an isoamyl group, contributing to its distinctive scent profile. Isoamyl valerate is used in various applications, including food flavoring, perfumery, and as a solvent in chemical processes. Additionally, it is considered to have low toxicity, making it suitable for use in consumer products. However, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation or allergic reactions.
