The diisoamyl glutarate in catalysis of silicotungsticacid was preparated by esterification of isoamyl alcohol and glutaric anhydride seperated from dicarboxylic acid.
Synthesis of isoamyl formate, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl propionate, isoamyl butyrate, isoamyl isobutyrate and isoamyl isovalerate by catalysis of hydrated ferric chloride are reported.
