Identification
Common NameAMYL FORMATE
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPentyl formate, also known as amyl methanoate or fema 2068, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Pentyl formate exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
