This ester is primarily used in flavor compositions, although it occasionally finds application in certain phases of perfumery (masking, household products of certain type, etc.).
Its apple-like character is useful in fruit complexes where diffusive power is desirable (chewing gum, etc.) and it performs very well in pineapple or fantasy flavors.
Produced by direct esterification of methanol with n-valeric acid e.g. under azeotropic conditions.
