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