Isoamyl alcohol is a colorless liquid with the formula C 5 H 12 O, specifically (H 3 C–) 2 CH–CH 2 –CH 2 –OH. It is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol (pentanol). It is also known as isopentyl alcohol, isopentanol, or (in the IUPAC recommended nomenclature) 3-methyl-butan-1-ol.
Amyl alcohols are alcohols with the formula C 5 H 11 OH. [1] Eight are known. A mixture of amyl alcohols (also called amyl alcohol) can be obtained from fusel alcohol.Amyl alcohol is used as a solvent and in esterification, by which is produced amyl acetate and other products.
The molecular formula C 5 H 12 O (molar mass: 88.15 g/mol, exact mass: 88.088815) may refer to: One of the amyl alcohols: 1-Pentanol; tert-Amyl alcohol; Isoamyl alcohol; Neopentyl alcohol; 2-Methyl-1-butanol; 3-Methyl-2-butanol; 2-Pentanol; 3-Pentanol; An ether: Methyl tert-butyl ether; Methyl n-butyl ether (CH 3-O-C 4 H 9
Isoamyl acetate, also known as isopentyl acetate, is an ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid, with the molecular formula C 7 H 14 O 2. It is a colorless liquid that is only slightly soluble in water, but very soluble in most organic solvents. Isoamyl acetate has a strong odor which is described as similar to both banana and pear.

The nomenclature has now reversed, with "amyl" being more often used to refer to the terminally branched group also called isopentyl, as in amobarbital. A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C 5 H 9. The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme ...
Isoamyl formate, also known as isopentyl formate, is an ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and formic acid, with the formula C 6 H 12 O 2. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity odor of plum or blackcurrant .
Amyl acetate (pentyl acetate) is an organic compound and an ester with the chemical formula CH 3 COO[CH 2] 4 CH 3 and the molecular weight 130.19 g/mol. It is colorless and has a scent similar to bananas [3] [4] and apples. [5] The compound is the condensation product of acetic acid and 1-pentanol.
