Isoamyl acetate
Isoamyl acetate (CH 3 ) 2 CH (CH 2 ) 2 -OOCCH 3 is an isomer of amyl acetate, used as a solvent for nitrocellulose and cellulose triacetate (in the production of film, celluloid , etc.), is a part of film adhesive. In the food industry it is known as pear essence. It has a harmful effect on the central nervous system.
Colorless volatile liquid with a fruity odor. Flammable. Boiling point 142 ° C.
Obtained by reacting isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid in the presence of a catalyst (concentrated H 2 SO 4 ).
CH 3 COOH + (CH 3 ) 2 CH (CH 2 ) 2 OH → CH 3 COOCH 2 -CH 2 -CH (CH 3 ) 2 + H 2 O
