FormLiquid
Methyl isobutyrate is used as a flavoring agent. It was used as diluent in forced Rayleigh scattering studies to measure diffusion coefficients for a ternary system comprising camphorquinone in poly(methyl methacrylate).

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
Methyl isobutyrate is used as a flavoring agent. It was used as diluent in forced Rayleigh scattering studies to measure diffusion coefficients for a ternary system comprising camphorquinone in poly(methyl methacrylate).

Solubility
Slightly soluble in water.

Notes
Stable under recommended storage conditions. Incompatible with oxidizing agents.
