Isobutyl isovalerate(CAS#589-59-3)

Introduction

Isopentyl isobutyrate, also known as isopentyl isobutyrate. Properties:Isopentyl isobutyrate is a colorless liquid with a fruity aroma. It has low solubility, is slightly soluble in water, and soluble in ethanol and acetone.Uses:Isopentyl isobutyrate is commonly used as a solvent and catalyst in organic synthesis.Preparation:Isopentyl isobutyrate can be prepared through the esterification reaction of pentanol and isobutyric acid. First, pentanol and isobutyric acid are added to the reactor in a certain molar ratio, then an esterification catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, is added for heating and reaction. After the reaction is complete, the product is separated and purified to obtain isopentyl isobutyrate.Safety Information:When using isopentyl isobutyrate, protective measures should be taken. It is a flammable liquid that easily produces vapors and combustible gases, so avoid contact with open flames and high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to the skin and eyes should be avoided, and inhalation of its vapors should be prevented. Appropriate protective gloves, goggles, masks, and good ventilation should be used. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, rinse immediately with plenty of water, and seek medical attention if necessary, bringing the product container or label.
