What is isoamyl alcohol?

Isoamyl alcohol is a primary amyl alcohol with the chemical formula C₅H₁₂O and a molecular weight of 88.15 g/mol. Its systematic name is 3-methylbutan-1-ol, also written as 3-methyl-1-butanol or 3-methylbutan-1-ol, and it is commonly known as isopentanol, isopentyl alcohol or isobutyl carbinol.

It is a colourless liquid with a characteristic odour and is used as both a solvent and chemical intermediate. Its properties make it suitable for applications ranging from coatings and organic solvents to aroma chemicals that taste like black truffle and fruity-scented ester production.

For businesses looking for an isopentanol supplier, Nedstar provides bulk sourcing solutions supported by international logistics and product expertise.

How is isoamyl alcohol made?

Isoamyl alcohol can be produced through petrochemical or bio-based processes, depending on the required product origin. Conventional isoamyl alcohol is typically manufactured through chemical synthesis using petrochemical feedstocks, followed by separation and purification to achieve the required specifications.

Bio-based isoamyl alcohol can be recovered from fusel oil, a mixture of higher alcohols formed as a major by-product of ethanol fermentation. Fractional distillation and further purification then separate isoamyl alcohol from water, ethanol, isobutanol and other fusel oil components.

This process enables manufacturers to recover a valuable chemical raw material from the fermentation stream for use across the chemical industry.

Key properties of isoamyl alcohol

 Isoamyl alcohol is a flammable liquid valued for its solvent properties and versatility as a chemical intermediate. Key physical properties include a boiling point of approximately 131–132°C, a melting point of approximately -117°C and a flash point of around 43°C. Published physical-property data may vary slightly according to the testing method and source. 

 The substance is compatible with many organic materials but has limited solubility in water. Its solvent characteristics contribute to its use in coatings, chemical synthesis, fragrances and other formulations. 

 As a harmful flammable liquid, isoamyl alcohol requires appropriate storage and handling controls. Always refer to the product-specific Safety Data Sheet before use.
