Iso-amyllevulinate Usage And Synthesis
Uses
Iso-amyllevulinate has very pleasant effects with Clary Sage, Lavender, Coriander, etc., and it will take the harshness out of Amylsalicylate, Coumarin, etc. for sweet-herbaceous and winey odor types. The ester has excellent effect in imitation Rum, Butter, Caramel, Apple “Champagne””, etc. and the author believes that it is used outside of the U. S.A.for flavor compositions.
Synthesis
Iso-amyllevulinate is produced by direct esterification of iso-Amylalcohol with Levulinic acid, preferably under azeotropic conditions.
