Methyl pentanoate, commonly known as methyl valerate, is the methyl ester of pentanoic acid (valeric acid) with a fruity odor. Methyl pentanoate is commonly used in fragrances, beauty care, soap, laundry detergents at levels of 0.1–1%. In a very pure form (greater than 99.5%) it is used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of plastics.

Valeric acid or pentanoic acid is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 3 COOH. Like other low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids, it has an unpleasant odor . It is found in the perennial flowering plant Valeriana officinalis , from which it gets its name.
Isocaproic acid, also known as 4-methylpentanoic acid or 4-methylvaleric acid, is a carboxylic acid of five carbons with methyl substitution at the fourth carbon.

Electron-withdrawing substituents, such as -CF 3 group, give stronger acids (the pK a of acetic acid is 4.76 whereas trifluoroacetic acid, with a trifluoromethyl substituent, has a pK a of 0.23). Electron-donating substituents give weaker acids (the pK a of formic acid is 3.75 whereas acetic acid, with a methyl substituent, has a pK a of 4.76)
The term "distilled vinegar" as used in the United States (called "spirit vinegar" in the UK, "white vinegar" in Canada [39]) is something of a misnomer because it is not produced by distillation, but by fermentation of distilled alcohol. The fermentate is diluted to produce a colorless solution of 5 to 8% acetic acid in water, with a pH of ...
