| 3-Methylbutyl 3-methylbutanoate Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Isoamyl isovalerate has a characteristic fruity odor and a sweet
apple-like flavor. May be prepared by passing vapors of isoamyl
alcohol and isovaleric aldehyde over a copper uranium based catalyst at 240 - 280°C in the presence of hydrogen.
| Chemical Properties | Isoamyl isovalerate has a fruity, sweet, apple, apricot, mango-characteristic fruity odor and sweet-apple-like flavor. | Occurrence | Reported found in the ether oil from leaves of Eucalyptus microcorys, angelica root oil and mastic gum leaf
