Usage

General Description

N-Amyl Isovalerate, also known as ester Isovalerians?ure-amyl alcohol, is a colorless liquid chemical compound that carries the scent of apples. It belongs to the family of carboxylic acid esters, which are large class compounds that comprise an ester functional group featuring a carbonyl adjacent to an ether. It is predominantly used as a flavoring agent in the food industry, but also in fragrances due to its fruity smell. Additionally, it is often utilized in aerosols, detergents, polishes, specialty foods, and perfumes. However, direct contact and ingestion can be harmful to the human body.

Nematicidal activity of natural ester compounds and their analogues against pine wood nematode, bursaphelenchus xylophilus

In this study, we evaluated the nematicidal activity of natural ester compounds against the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, to identify candidates for the development of novel, safe nematicides. We also tested the nematicidal activity of synthesized analogues of these ester compounds to determine the structure-activity relationship. Among 28 ester compounds tested, isobutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl tiglate, 3-methyl-2-butenyl 2- methylbutanoate, and pentyl 2-methylbutanoate showed strong nematicidal activity against the pine wood nematode at a 1 mg/ mL concentration. The other ester compounds showed weak nematicidal activity. The LC50 values of 3-methylbutyl tiglate, isobutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methyl-2-butenyl 2-methylbutanoate, and pentyl 2- methylbutanoate were 0.0218, 0.0284, 0.0326, 0.0402, and 0.0480 mg/mL, respectively. The ester compounds described herein merit further study as potential nematicides for pine wood nematode control.

Structure-function correlation in lipase catalysed esterification reactions of short and medium carbon chain length alcohols and acids

An attempt has been made to correlate the carbon chain lengths of acids and alcohols to the extent of esterification in the Rhizomucor miehei lipase catalyzed esterification reactions involving acids of carbon chain length C2-C5 and alcohols of carbon chain length C1-C8.
