Isoamyl Alcohol is a branched-chain primary alcohol found in fusel oil, with a strong fruity odor. It is commonly used as a fragrance and flavor component, as well as a solvent in industrial and laboratory settings. C5H12O is also used in the synthesis of esters like isoamyl acetate (banana oil). Isoamyl is multirole compound: Perfumery & aroma formulation labs, F&B flavor houses, Solvent blend manufacturering, R&D analytical labs. Also referred to as (3-Methyl-1-butanol, Isopentyl alcohol) by speciality chemicals suppliers and manufacturers.
