Storage method
Storage Precautions[18] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37°C. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, and halogens, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
1. Add isoamyl alcohol and sulfuric acid to formic acid and esterify it.
2. Obtained from esterification of isoamyl alcohol (or fusel oil) and sodium formate in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid and then fractionation.
3. The finished product isoamyl formate is obtained by reacting 1245kg of formic acid (95%) and 500kg of isoamyl alcohol (95%) in the presence of sulfuric acid, followed by neutralization with alkali, dehydration and rectification.
Purpose
1. Used as a solvent for nitrocellulose and paint.
2. Used for making sherbet and other spices, as well as organic synthesis and solvents.
3. Used as an organic solvent for the manufacture of spices, fumigation pesticides and fungicides. [19]
