Abstract
Isovaleric acid esters have found a wide range of practical applications. Many compounds of this series exhibit biological activity and are used as components of widely used drugs such as validol, corvalol, etc. [1, 2]. Ethyl, isopentyl, 2-phenylethyl, and cinnamyl isovalerates are components of food additives and perfumes [3]. L-Menthyl isovalerate is the main active component of the spasmolytic validol [2] (25–30% solution of menthol in menthyl isovalerate).
