Appearance

Colorless liquid.

Solubility

Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Odor

Fruity, pungent odor with little or no resemblance to any particular fruit or other natural product. Its initial notes are rather sharp green, quite different from the odor of the common isomers.

Uses in flavor

Although suggested for use in fruit flavors, this ester has probably very little importance as such.

Production

Produced by direct esterification of 2-Methylpentanol with iso-Valeric acid under azeotropic conditions.
