iso-AMYL ACETATE (for synthesis) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This iso-AMYL ACETATE is meant for synthesis. This organic compound is the ester formed from isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid. This reagent is slightly soluble in water, but very soluble in organic solvents. Isoamyl acetate is synthesized by the acid catalysed reaction, Fischer esterification of isoamyl alcohol with glacial acetic acid. Isoamyl acetate has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is extensively used in the food industry to impart banana flavour in foods. Isoamyl acetate is also employed as a solvent for some varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquers. Due to its intense, pleasant odour and its low toxicity, this compound is used to test the effectiveness of respirators or gas masks. It was extensively used in the aircraft industry for stiffening and wind-proofing fabric flying surfaces, as a solvent and carrier for materials such as nitrocellulose. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
