| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Methyl 2-methylbutyrate has a pungent, fruity odor with a sweet,
fruity, apple-like taste at low levels. May be prepared from a
mixture of esters including methyl 2-methylbutyrate; is obtained
from isobutene, CO, and methanol under pressure, or from butene,
CO, and an acid catalyst under pressure. | [Chemical Properties]
