Chemical Properties

Allyl (3-Methylbutoxy)acetate is a colorless liquid of strong, fruity galbanum odor with pineapple modification. It can be prepared by reaction of chloroacetic acid with isoamyl alcohol in the presence of sodium hydroxide and a phase-transfer catalyst, then treating the resulting sodium amylglycolate with allyl alcohol. Allyl amylglycolate is used in fragrance compositions, for example, for detergents.

General Description

Clear colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Allyl (3-methylbutoxy)acetate may react with strong oxidizing acids sufficiently exothermically to ignite the reaction products. Also generates heat with caustic solutions. May generate flammable hydrogen with alkali metals, hydrides, and other reducing agents.

Fire Hazard

Allyl (3-methylbutoxy)acetate is combustible.
