Sweeter and fruitier than Amyl acetate, less harsh. Not quite as floral as Hexyl acetate, and not as 'berry-like'.
The flavor is sweet and fruity, rather nondescript, but has a remote resemblance to Apple and Pear.
Has been suggested for use in flavor compositions, but does not seem to perform as well as n-Hexyl acetate.
Produced by direct esterification of 2-Methylpentanol-5 with Acetic acid under azeotropic conditions.
