Methyl Isovalerate

Description:

Methyl isovalerate is an ester with the chemical formula C6H12O2, characterized by its fruity odor, which is often associated with flavors and fragrances. It is formed from the reaction of isovaleric acid and methanol through an esterification process. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. Methyl isovalerate is commonly used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and in the cosmetic industry for its pleasant scent. Additionally, it has applications in the production of various chemical intermediates. Its boiling point and other physical properties can vary based on environmental conditions, but it generally exhibits low toxicity, making it suitable for use in consumer products. However, like many esters, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Overall, methyl isovalerate is valued for its aromatic qualities and versatility in various industrial applications.
