Physicochemical properties:Colorless liquid with alcohol smell and poisonous vapor. Melting point: - 117 ℃, specific gravity 0.8092, refractive index n15d1 4085, boiling point 132 ℃. Slightly soluble in water, miscible with ethanol and ether.

Application: The product has apple brandy aroma and spicy taste. China's GB2760-86 stipulates that the edible spices that are allowed to be used are mainly used to prepare apples and banana flavors. Isoamyl nitrite is obtained by esterification of isoamyl alcohol and sodium nitrite. It is the fastest nitrite short acting vasodilator. Isoamyl alcohol is also used to synthesize the sedative and hypnotic drugs bromomina and amital. Isoamyl alcohol can also be used as solvent and reagent for chemical analysis. It is also used as raw material for the production of plasticizers and photographic drugs. It is also a component of fuel oil.
