Synthesis route: Isobutyl propionate is mainly prepared by direct esterification reaction between isobutanol and propionic acid.
twelve
Multiple synthetic routes have been mentioned in public materials, such as:
Synthesized by reacting isobutanol and propionic acid under acidic conditions, with a yield of approximately 86%.
four
Using isobutanol to react with another propionic acid derivative (such as propionyl- chloride), the yield can reach 92%
