Product Overview |
Isoamyl Alcohol (CAS No. 123-51-3) is a typical aliphatic alcohol widely applied as solvent and chemical intermediate for manufacturing flavors, our Isoamyl Alcohol is derived from the by-products of grain fermentation and is a natural isopentanol. It is more suitable for applications in flavors, fragrances, food additives, etc., and has a greater advantage in the production of isopentyl acetate (banana oil). It is particularly suitable for the synthesis of isoamyl acetate and other ester-based aroma compounds. The resource utilization of waste from alcohol factories has a carbon footprint that is better than that of petrochemical isopentanol.
Isoamyl Alcohol can also be used in paint-and-coating solvents, extraction agents and pharmaceutical intermediate production, where its molecular structure delivers moderate volatility, good dissolving capacity for oils and resins, and formulation compatibility. Isoamyl Alcohol-derived ester products are also widely adopted in selected food flavoring and daily-chemical fragrance applications, offering characteristic fruity aroma and stable sensory performance for flavor & fragrance formulators.

Storage & Handling Notes
For liquid Isoamyl Alcohol (CAS 123‑51‑3), prolonged exposure to high temperature, open‑air environment or ignition sources may increase fire‑hazard risk and cause volatile loss of the material. Store in tightly sealed containers, keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.

Application |
Isoamyl Alcohol is used as a feedstock for esterification with acetic acid and other organic acids to produce isoamyl acetate and related ester aroma compounds. Commercial users in food flavoring and daily-chemical fragrance manufacturing select it where the commercial isomer composition is acceptable.
Typical application areas include:
Isoamyl acetate and other ester fragrances
Food flavor intermediate feedstock
Daily-chemical fragrance raw material
Synthetic perfume formulation component
Isoamyl Alcohol is used as a co-solvent and extraction agent in coating systems and natural-product processing. Its evaporation rate and miscibility with organic solvents support formulations requiring controlled solvency.
Typical application areas include:
Coating and paint auxiliary solvents
Solvent for natural-product extraction
Pharmaceutical intermediate extraction
Oil-phase separation processes
It serves as a synthetic building block in fine-chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate production, as well as in pesticide and dye auxiliary materials. Process suitability should be confirmed through laboratory trials before commercial adoption.
