Did u mean function of chloroform isoamyl alcohol in DNA extraction?
Chloroform isoamyl alcohol is a type of detergent. It binds to protein and lipids of cell membrane and dissolve them. By this it will disrupt the bonds that hold the cell membrane together and cause it to breakdown. It then form complexes with these lipids and proteins, causing them to precipitate out of solution. Note that lipids and proteins are non-aqueous compound and DNA/RNA are aqueous compound. The detergent binds to non-aqueous compound.
it helps in the removal of proteins from nucleic acid
The actual role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in a plasmid DNA extraction is to purify the DNA. The alcohol will act in part as a detergent.
Chloroform , formula is 'CCl3H'. It is dissolved in a spirit, such as an alcohol. It modern IUPAC name is 'Tri-chloromethane'.
It is only a mixture of the two liquids.
No it is not soluble in water it is soluble in chloroform, alcohol, methnol

to separate two layer.DNA is insoluble in alcohol so it will floats up and all other cell components will precipitate at the bottom of the test tube.CIA also helps to isolate the CTAB solution so it will be easy to obtain the DNA.
phenol,chloroform,isoamyl alcohol,ethanol,CTAB reagent,Na acetate etc.. but nowadays, they use kits for any kind of DNA isolation, which makes their job easier.
I am also looking for the same. Do you have some market data for any of the Isoamyl derivative. We can work togehter & share the info.

because there is an alcohol inside it
information is less to answer. Both of them are polar compounds.

Several DNA isolation protocols recommend the use of either ethyl or isoamyl alcohol for the precipitation step
for vitamin A (retinol):soluble in ethanol,methanol,tween 40,chloroform,ethyl -ether and oil for vitamin D2:soluble in alcohol,ether AND chloroform for vitamin D3:soluble in alcohol,ether,chloroform,acetone AND VEGETABLE OIL for vitamin E acetate:soluble inalcohol,ether,chloroform,aceton and oil for vitamin k1: soluble in ether,chloroform,acetone.slightly soluble in oil and methanol
