Description

Isoamyl valerate is a fatty acid ester of isovaleric acid. It is an important chemical used in the production of pharmaceutical preparations, as well as in the manufacture of polymer films. Isoamyl valerate has been used as a cross-linking agent and a catalyst for reactions that require heat or water vapor. The hydroxyl group on this molecule can form hydrogen bonds with acidic ph compounds, such as cyclic peptides, which are then hydrolyzed by water vapor to form new reaction products. The particle size of this compound is small enough to be classified as solid, and it has a relatively low melting point for solids.

Isoamyl Valerate is an organic compound that belongs to the group of hydroxy acids or fatty acids esters. It has a particle size that qualifies it as solid, and its melting point for solids is lower than most other solids. This chemical has been used in pharmaceutical preparations and polymer films.
