Description

Isoamyl hexanoate has an apple, pineapple, fruity, green, sweet odor. Colorless liquid


Colourless liquid with a fruity odour


3-methylbutyl hexanoate is a fatty acid ester obtained by the formal condensation of the carboxy group of hexanoic acid (caproic acid) with the alcoholic hydroxy group of 3-methylbutan-1-ol (isoamylol). It has a role as a metabolite and a fragrance. It derives from an isoamylol.
