Common Nameisoamyl formate
Description3-Methylbutyl formate, also known as isoamyl methanoate or isopentyl formate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. 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). 3-Methylbutyl formate is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3-Methylbutyl formate is a blackcurrant, dry, and earthy tasting compound. Outside of the human body,. isoamyl formate is found in Plectranthus glabratus. The formate ester of isoamylol.
