−
A colorless volatile liquid solvent that smells and tastes like bananas. Amyl acetate is a mixture of five isomers and is sometimes sold under the names banana oil or pear oil. Its primary isomer is isoamyl acetate. Amyl acetate was introduced in 1887 as a solvent for [[cellulose%20nitrate|cellulose nitrate]] (see [[Zapon%20lacquer|Zapon lacquer]]) and was also later used for [[cellulose%20acetate|cellulose acetate]]. It has also been used in dyeing and finishing textiles, in linoleum oil cloth, and as a banana flavorant. Amyl acetate is still used as a solvent in nail polishes, leather polishes, waterproof varnishes, bronzing liquids, and metallic paints.
+
Currently used as a common name for solid [[sulfur]]. In early times, brimstone was used to refer to any ore or stone that burned.
