- Isoamyl acetate, also
known as isopentyl acetate, is an organic compound that is the ester
formed from isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid.
- It is a clear colorless
liquid that is only slightly soluble in water, but very soluble in most
organic solvents.
- Banana oil is a term
that is applied either to pure isoamyl acetate or to flavorings that are
mixtures of isoamyl acetate, amyl acetate, nitrocellulose and other
flavors.
- Pear oil commonly
refers to a solution of isoamyl acetate in ethanol that is used as an
artificial flavor.
- Isoamyl acetate is also
used to test the effectiveness of respirators or gas masks because it
has a strong smell which is generally not experienced as unpleasant that
can be detected at low concentrations, and has low toxicity.
- Isoamyl acetate can be
prepared in the laboratory by the acid catalyzed Fischer esterification
reaction between isoamyl alcohol and glacial acetic acid.
- Isoamyl acetate is made
commercially by reacting acetic acid with amyl alcohol to produce amyl
acetate, of which there are eight isomers. The isomers are then
separated from each other by fractional distillation to obtain the one
desired form, isoamyl acetate.
- It is also used as a
solvent for some varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquers, as well as being
a honey bee pheromone and can be used to attract large groups of
honeybees to a small area.
