Amyl isobutyrate is an organic acid that is a member of the fatty acids family. It has a kinetic control agent and can be used to control the production of fatty acids in living organisms. Amyl isobutyrate can be immobilized on a surface and used as a stationary phase for chromatography. This type of column is often used to separate long-chain, unsaturated fatty acids. The immobilization process involves coating the surface with amyl isobutyrate and then exposing it to hydrogen fluoride or orthophosphoric acid. These chemicals react with the surface, forming an amide bond between the amyl isobutyrate molecule and the surface. This bond makes it difficult for other materials to attach themselves to the surface, which means that only long-chain, unsaturated fatty acids will bind to this type of column.
