2-Methylbutyl ethanoate ester

Synonyms Acetic acid, isopentyl ester Acetic acid, 3-methylbutyl ester AI3-00576 Banana oil BRN 1744750 CCRIS 6051 EINECS 204-662-3 FEMA No. 2055 Isoamyl ethanoate Isopentyl acetate Isopentyl alcohol acetate 3-Methyl-1-butanol acetate 3-Methylbutyl acetate 3-Methyl-1-butyl acetate 3-Methylbutyl ethanoate NSC 9260 Pear oil UN 1104. 

When ethanoic acid and 3-methylbutanol undergo a condensation reaction, the ester 3-methylbutyl ethanoate is formed. The water molecule eliminated is made up of the -OH group from the acid and the H- from the alcohol. 

Esters are mildly polar and have pleasant aromas. Many esters are found in natural foodstuffs banana oil (3-methylbutyl ethanoate common name, isoamyl acetate), pineapples (ethyl butanoate common name, ethyl butyrate), and raspberries (isobutyl methanoate common name, isobutyl formate) are but a few...

The odors of esters are distinctly different from those of the corresponding acids. Acids have unpleasant smells, but esters have fruity smells. In fact, esters are responsible for the odors of many fruits. For example, ethyl ethanoate occurs in pineapples, 3-methylbutyl ethanoate in apples and bananas, 3-methylbutyl-3-methylbutanoate in apples, and octyl ethanoate in oranges.
