Synthesis route :
Amyl acetate is synthesized by an esterification reaction between acetic acid and pentanol (or amyl alcohol). This synthesis can be optimized to get a better yield, replacing acetic acid by acetic anhydride or chloroacetic acid.
Synthesis precursor :
Amyl acetate is not a precursor to the synthesis of another compound of olfactive interest.
Isomerism :
Amyl acetate is a positional isomer of Isoamyl acetate. The smell of Isoamyl acetate is known as more reminiscent of banana fruit, when Amyl acetate is more associated to pear fruit. Amyl compounds frequently have a mushroom smell.
