Colorless oily liquid.
When absolutely free from Thioglycollic acid, this ester has a faint, but pleasant aromatic-herbaceous odor, remotely reminiscent of Amyl acetate.

Produced from (iso-)Amyl alcohol and Thioglycollic acid by direct esterification under azeotropic conditions (no catalytic acid added).
