Isoamyl isovalerate

Description:
Isoamyl isovalerate, with the CAS number 659-70-1, is an ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and isovaleric acid. It is characterized by its fruity odor, often reminiscent of bananas or pears, making it a popular choice in the flavor and fragrance industry. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. Isoamyl isovalerate has a relatively low boiling point, which contributes to its volatility and aroma profile. It is commonly used in food flavoring, perfumery, and as a fragrance component in various consumer products. Additionally, isoamyl isovalerate can be synthesized through esterification reactions, typically involving the condensation of the corresponding alcohol and acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. Safety data indicates that while it is generally regarded as safe in low concentrations, proper handling and storage are essential to avoid potential irritations or adverse effects.
