I'm currently studying about esters and the use of esters to produce everyday scents.  I just wanted to know what the scents of isoamyl formate  (isoamyl methanoate) and ethyl methanoate (formic ether) are.  I tried searching chemifinder and flovournet home....but cannot find the accepted name of the scent.  I suspect the latter one smells a little like apples.  I am really stuck right now.  Your help will be greatly appreciated.
