Amyl Alcohol

Amyl alcohol is a common name for any of the eight isomers of pentanol (C₅H₁₁OH). The most prevalent form, often called "fusel oil" when produced as a byproduct of ethanol fermentation, is a mixture of isomers, primarily isoamyl alcohol. These colorless liquids generally have a characteristic strong smell and a sharp, burning taste. Amyl alcohols are primarily used as industrial solvents for resins and oils and as chemical intermediates. A major application is in the synthesis of amyl acetate, an ester known for its distinct banana or pear-like scent, which is used extensively as an artificial flavoring agent in foods and as a fragrance in cosmetics.
