These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Isoamyl acetate is the ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid. 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 (similar to Juicy Fruit or a pear drop) which is also described as similar to both banana and pear. Banana oil is a term that is applied either to pure isoamyl acetate or to flavorings that are mixtures of isoamyl acetate, amyl acetate, nitrocellulose and other flavors. Pear oil commonly refers to a solution of isoamyl acetate in ethanol that is used as an artificial flavor. Isoamyl acetate is used in banana flavouring. Isoamyl acetate is found naturally in the banana plant. In addition to its role as a flavoring or aroma agent in foods and perfumes, isoamyl acetate is released by a honey bee's sting where it serves as a pheromone to attract other bees and provoke them to sting ( PMID: 13870346). 1-Butanol, 3-methyl-, 1-acetate 1-Butanol, 3-methyl-, acetate 3-Methyl butyl ester acetic acid 3-Methyl-1-butanol acetate 3-Methyl-1-butanol acetic acid 3-Methyl-1-butanol, acetate 3-Methyl-1-butanyl acetate 3-Methyl-1-butyl acetate 3-Methyl-1-butyl acetic acid 3-Methyl-but-1-yl acetate 3-Methyl-but-1-yl acetic acid 3-Methylbutyl acetate 3-Methylbutyl ethanoate 3-Methylbutyl ethanoic acid Acetate d'isoamyle Acetate d'isopentyle Acetate de 3-methylbutyle Acetate, 3-methylbutyl ester Acetate, isopentyl ester Acetic acid d'isoamyle Acetic acid d'isopentyle Acetic acid de 3-methylbutyle Acetic acid, 3-methylbutyl ester Acetic acid, isopentyl ester Amylacetic ester b-Methyl butyl acetate b-Methyl butyl acetic acid beta-Methyl butyl acetate beta-Methyl butyl acetic acid CH3C(O)O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2 FEMA 2055 I-Amyl acetate I-amyl acetic acid Isoamyl acetate Isoamyl acetic acid Isoamyl acetate Isoamyl ethanoate Isoamyl ethanoic acid Isoamylacetat Isoamylazetat Isopentyl acetate Isopentyl acetic acid Isopentyl ethanoate Isopentyl ethanoic acid β-methyl butyl acetate β-methyl butyl acetic acid C7H14O2 130.1849 130.099379692 3-methylbutyl acetate banana oil 123-92-2 CC(C)CCOC(C)=O InChI=1S/C7H14O2/c1-6(2)4-5-9-7(3)8/h6H,4-5H2,1-3H3 MLFHJEHSLIIPHL-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters.
