Basic physical properties
Molecular weight: 130.19
Boiling point: Approx. 142°C (n-pentyl ester); varies slightly among isomers (e.g., isoamyl acetate is approx. 142–143°C)
Density: Approx. 0.875–0.880 g/cm³ (at 20°C)
Refractive index: n²⁰ᴅ ≈ 1.402
Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water (approx. 0.17 g/100 mL); miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, esters, and oils
Flash point: Approx. 25°C (closed cup); classified as a flammable liquid (Category 3)
Vapor pressure: Approx. 0.6 kPa at 20°C; volatility is significantly lower than that of methyl acetate
Primary Uses
Solvents: For nitrocellulose, paints, inks, adhesives, and artificial leather coatings; features moderate evaporation rate and good leveling properties.
Fragrances/Flavors: Used in formulating banana, pear, and other fruit-like scents (though isoamyl acetate is more commonly used).
Extractants: For separating essential oils, fats/oils, and certain organic substances.
Laboratory: Chromatography solvent; ester intermediate in organic synthesis.
Safety and Physiology
Toxicity: Low toxicity. Oral LD₅₀ in rats ≈ 6–12 g/kg; high-concentration vapors cause mucous membrane irritation, headache, and nausea; prolonged inhalation may induce mild anesthesia.
Skin: Causes defatting; long-term contact leads to dryness and cracking.
Storage and Transport: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition; keep separate from oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases; take precautions against static electricity for drummed storage.
