Description and Uses

All isomers of amyl acetate are highly flammable, colorless to yellow, watery liquids. The n- and isoisomers have a persistent, fruity, banana-like or pear-likeodor. The sec-isomer has a mild fruity odor. Molecularweight of isomers 5 130.21.

Water contact forms a flammable, irritatingvapor. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 M RatingSystem): Health 1, Flammability 3, Reactivity 0.*The range of accepted odor threshold values is quite broadand caution should be used in relying on odor alone as awarning of potentially hazardous exposure.

Banana essence. Used as test odorant in studies of olfactory function and in studies of the psychosocial effects of odor.
