2-Methyl-Propanoic Acid Pentyl Ester(CAS#2445-72-9)

Introduction

Amyl isobutyrate. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, manufacturing methods and safety information:

Quality:

Amyl isobutyrate is a colorless liquid with a watery irritating and pungent flavor. It is soluble in alcohols, ethers and organic solvents, and insoluble in water.

Use:

Amyl isobutyrate is mainly used in solvents, industrial cleaners, paints and coatings, inks, fragrances and flavors. It is often used as an efficient volatile solvent in industry, which can effectively dissolve many organic substances. It is also commonly used as a raw material for softeners, lubricants and plasticizers.

Method:

The preparation of amyl isobutyrate is usually obtained by the reaction of isobutanol with valeric acid. In the specific operation, isobutanol and valeric acid are added to the reaction bottle in a certain proportion, and a catalyst is added to carry out the esterification reaction. After the reaction is completed, the products are separated and purified by methods such as distillation.

Safety Information:

Amyl isobutyrate is a flammable substance that is flammable and explodes when heated with an open flame, high temperature or open flame. During use or storage, it should be kept away from open flames and heat sources, and placed in a well-ventilated place. In case of accidental leakage, necessary safety precautions should be taken in time, such as wearing protective gloves and respirators, to prevent contact with the skin and inhalation of vapors. Avoid contact with substances such as strong oxidants, strong acids and strong bases to prevent dangerous reactions. When handling and transporting, the relevant safe operating practices should be observed, and the amount of contact with the human body should be strictly controlled.
