Application

3-Methyl-1-butanol has been used in the preparation of bioactive beads (BABs) with uniform size for transformation.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

3-Methyl-1-butanol is a pentanol isomer useful in biofuels.[2] It is used as a starting material for the production of isoamyl acetate, a flavoring agent applicable in the food industry.[3] 3-Methyl-1-butanol shows anti-fungal action by inhibiting the hyphal formation and reducing biofilm formation in Candida albicans.[4] It is also used in DNA extraction protocols.[5]

The pentanol isomers 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol represent commercially interesting alcohols due to their potential application as biofuels. For a sustainable microbial production of these compounds, Corynebacterium glutamicum was engineered for producing 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol via the Ehrlich pathway from 2-keto-3-methylvalerate
