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.

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.
Conversely, the name pentyl was used for several five-carbon branched alkyl groups, distinguished by various prefixes. 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.
Phenyl acetate is the ester of phenol and acetic acid.It can be produced by reacting phenol with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride.. Phenyl acetate can be separated into phenol and an acetate salt, via saponification: heating the phenyl acetate with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, will produce phenol and an acetate salt (sodium acetate, if sodium hydroxide were used).
It's also used in the illicit production of phenylacetone, which is used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. The sodium salt of phenylacetic acid, sodium phenylacetate, is used as a pharmaceutical drug for the treatment of urea cycle disorders , including as the combination drug sodium phenylacetate/sodium benzoate (Ammonul).
