The 2,3,4,6-O-tetraisovaleryl glucose was synthesized with ethylenediamine acetate as a saponifier, characterized by 1 HNMR, HRMS and silylanized derivation MS, and applied in cigarettes as a flavorant. The sensory evaluation showed that the synthesized compound imparted a characteristic flavor of isovaleric acid to the smoke of blended type cigarette.
