p-Cresyl isovalerate

Description:
p-Cresyl isovalerate, with the CAS number 55066-56-3, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is derived from p-cresol and isovaleric acid, featuring a characteristic fruity odor that makes it useful in the fragrance industry. The molecular structure includes a p-cresyl group, which contributes to its aromatic properties, and an isovalerate moiety, which adds to its volatility and solubility in organic solvents. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and is known for its relatively low toxicity compared to other aromatic compounds. p-Cresyl isovalerate is often utilized in the formulation of perfumes, flavorings, and as a chemical intermediate in various synthetic processes.
