A common method for preparing isobutyl acetate is Fischer esterification, where precursors isobutyl alcohol and acetic acid are heated in the presence of a strong acid. Isobutyl acetate has three isomers: n-butyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate, and sec-butyl acetate, which are also common solvents. 

Isobutyl Acetate is a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. It is used as a solvent and in perfumes and artificial fruit-flavoring agents.
