Isopentyl Alcohol ACS is a clear, colorless alcohol with a distinct banana oil scent. With a chemical formula of C5H12O, it is also referred to as isoamyl alcohol, iso-pentanol, 3-Methylbutanol, and 3-Methyl-1-butanol. This compound exhibits high solubility in acetone, diethyl ether, ethanol, and low solubility in water. It finds extensive use in a variety of industrial applications.

ChemieR provides an extensive selection of high-purity salts, acids, base and high purity solvents, including alkali metals, alkaline earth compounds, perchlorates, heavy metals, rare earths, transition metals, silver and precious metals, and triflates. ChemieR specialize in inorganic chemicals, offering materials with low moisture content and minimal trace metals. ChemieR stands out with a diverse range of laboratory chemicals, from organic and inorganic reagents to solvents.

Application :

  • Isopentyl Alcohol ACS is used as a solvent for the preparation of synthetic fruit flavours, such as apricot, banana, cheery, greengage, malt, orange, plum.
  • It is a raw material in the production of synthetic banana oil. 
  • It is used as a solvent in the manufacture of photographic and chemicals. 
  • It is used as an intermediate in preparation of some compounds, for isoamyl acetate and other esters.
  • Isoamyl alcohol is used in a phenol–chloroform extraction mixed with the chloroform to further inhibit RNase activity and prevent solubility of RNAs with long tracts of poly-adenine.

Benefits :

  • High quality and purity product which met the toughest standard of the American Chemical Society (ACS)
  • Used as synthetic flavor
  • Used as an antifoaming agent in the chloroform isoamyl alcohol reagent
