'''Isoamyl alcohol''' (also known as isopentyl alcohol) is a clear, colourless ] with the formula (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH. It is one of several ]s of ]. It is a main ingredient in the production of ], an ] found in nature and also produced as a flavouring in industry. '''Isoamyl alcohol''' is a colorless liquid with the formula {{chem|C|5|H|12|O}}, specifically (H<sub>3</sub>C–)<sub>2</sub>CH–CH<sub>2</sub>–CH<sub>2</sub>–OH. It is one of several ]s of ] (pentanol). It is also known as '''isopentyl alcohol''', '''isopentanol''', or (in the ] recommended nomenclature) '''3-methyl-butan-1-ol'''. An obsolete name for it was '''isobutyl carbinol'''.<ref name=EB1911/>


Isoamyl alcohol is an ingredient in the production of ], an ] found in nature and also produced as a flavouring in industry. It is a common ], produced as a major by-product of ethanol fermentation.

==Occurrence==
{{alcohol-stub}}
Isoamyl alcohol is one of the components of the aroma of '']'', the black truffle.

]s like isoamyl alcohol are grain fermentation byproducts, and therefore trace amounts of isoamyl are present in ].

The compound has also been identified as a chemical in the ] used by ]s to attract other members of the hive to attack.<ref>Wilson, Calum & Davies, Noel & Corkrey, Ross & J. Wilson, Annabel & M. Mathews, Alison & C. Westmore, Guy. (2017). Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis determines association of individual potato foliage volatiles with onion thrips preference, cultivar and plant age. PLOS ONE. 12. e0181831. 10.1371/journal.pone.0181831.</ref>

==Extraction from fusel oil==

Isoamyl alcohol can be separated from fusel oil by either of two methods: shaking with strong ] solution and separating the oily layer from the brine layer; ] it and collecting the fraction that boils between 125 and 140&nbsp;°C. Further purification is possible with this procedure: shaking the product with hot ], separating the oily layer, drying the product with ], and distilling it, collecting the fraction boiling between 128 and 132&nbsp;°C.<ref name=EB1911>{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Amyl Alcohols|volume=1|page=900}}</ref>

==Synthesis==

Isoamyl alcohol can be synthesized by condensation of ] and ] which produces ], then ]. It is a colourless liquid of density 0.8247 g/cm<sup>3</sup> (0&nbsp;°C), boiling at 131.6&nbsp;°C, slightly soluble in water, and easily dissolved in organic solvents. It has a characteristic strong smell and a sharp burning taste. On passing the vapour through a red-hot tube, it decomposes into ], ], ], and other compounds. It is ] by ] to ], and it forms ]s ]s with calcium chloride and ].<ref name=EB1911/>

==Uses==
Besides its use in the synthesis of banana oil, isoamyl alcohol is also an ingredient of ], used for the bacterial diagnostic ].

It is also used as an ] in the chloroform isoamyl alcohol reagent.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Zumbo|first1=P.|title=Phenol-chloroform Extraction|url=http://physiology.med.cornell.edu/faculty/mason/lab/zumbo/files/PHENOL-CHLOROFORM.pdf|publisher=WEILL CORNELL MEDICAL COLLEGE P. ZUMBO LABORATORY OF CHRISTOPHER E. MASON, PH.D|access-date=19 June 2014}}</ref>

Isoamyl alcohol is used in a ] mixed with the chloroform to further inhibit ] activity and prevent solubility of RNAs with long tracts of poly-].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Green |first1=Michael |last2=Sambrook |first2=Joseph |title=Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual |url=http://www.molecularcloning.com/ |section=Purification of Nucleic Acids: Extraction with Phenol-Chloroform |publisher=Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press |isbn=1936113422 }}</ref>
