What is the difference between butyl acetate And isobutyl acetate

Structural Difference

n-Butyl acetate: The alkyl group is a straight-chain n-butyl (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂-), so its full structure is CH₃COOCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃.

Isobutyl acetate: The alkyl group is branched isobutyl ((CH₃)₂CHCH₂-), so its structure is CH₃COOCH₂CH(CH₃)₂.
