Common Namelsoamyl alcohol
DescriptionIsoamyl alcohol or Isopentanol, also known as isopentyl alcohol or iso-amylalkohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. Primary alcohols are compounds comprising the alcohol functional group, attached to a primary carbon, with the general structure RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl). Isoamyl alcohol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol and ethyl acetate. Thus, isopentanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipidic molecule. Isopentyl alcohol is one of several isomers of amyl alcohol. It is a by-product of gut microbial fermentation (PMID: 17452087 ). Isopentanol is an alcoholic, banana, and burnt tasting compound. Due to its flavour and aroma, it is an ingredient in the production of banana oil, an ester found in nature and also produced as a flavouring in industry. Isoamyl alcohol can be produced by 3-methylbutanal reductase (EC 1.1.1.265) from 3-methylbutanal. In alcoholic beverages, isopentyl alcohol is also the major higher chain alcohol and it is present in cider, mead, beer, wine, and spirits to varying degrees, being a product of the fermentation of starches. Isopentanol has been shown to induce expression of CYP3A and CYP2E1 in human liver (PMID: 7574728 ). Isoamyl alcohol has been detected as a volatile component in cannabis plant samples (PMID: 26657499 ).
