Metabolite Identification
Common NamePentyl butanoate
DescriptionPentyl butanoate, also known as amyl butyrate or amyl butyric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid esters. These are carboxylic ester derivatives of a fatty acid. Pentyl butanoate exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule.
