Isobutyl formate (2-methylpropyl methanoate) is an organic ester with the chemical formula C₅H₁₀O₂. It is formed by the Fischer esterification of isobutanol with formic acid, with the aid of an acid catalyst. It is used as a flavor and fragrance ingredient because of its odor which is sweet, ethereal, and slightly fruity.[2][3]
