Chemistry & Uses
Uses in perfumery :
Isoamyl Butyrate is used in all types of perfumes, for fruity-red, yellow and exotic notes. Boosts head notes and provides power and diffusivity.
Year of discovery :
Data not available.
Natural availability :
Isoamyl Butyrate is present in many fruits in particular, and can be extracted from mastic.
Isomerism :
Allyl Caproate and gamma-Nonalactone are constitutional isomers of Isoamyl Butyrate. Allyl Caproate also has a fruity and butyric note, but gamma-Nonalactone has a very different peach and coconut smell.
Synthesis precursor :
Isoamyl Butyrate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactory interest.
Synthesis route :
Isoamyl Butyrate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between butyric acid and isoamyl alcohol, or 3-Methylbutanol, using an acid catalyst.
Stability :
May form butyric acid through time.
Other comments :
Data not available.
