Synthesis route :
Manzanate® can be synthesized by an esterification reaction between 2-methylpentanoic acid and ethanol. This reaction can be catalyzed by the presence of a strong acid in a low quantity as concentrated sulfuric acid, to enhance the reaction yield. The use of chloro-2-methylpentanoic acid can also be a help.
Synthesis precursor :
Manzanate® is not a precursor for the synthesis of another compound used in perfumes.
Isomerism :
Manzanate® has one asymmetric carbon in its strcture. (R)-2-methylpentanoate and (S)-2-methylpentanoate both exist. Manzanate® is a mixture of these two enantiomers. They are not used separately.
On the other hand, Ethyl Caproate is a positional isomer of Manzanate®. Its smell is less elegant and closer to ripe pineapple, less green.
