The synthesis of 2,5-dimethoxybenzyl 3-methylbutanoate is accomplished by nitrating the methyl group of 2,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol with ammonium nitrate and then adding isovaleric acid to the resulting product. The reaction occurs in a laboratory setting and can be performed using standard chemistry techniques such as spectroscopy and chromatography. The final product is an oily liquid that has a strong pheromone odor. The compound reacts with chloride to form a new compound, which can be used for various purposes.
