Yes, it is slightly soluble. However, your question is not specific enough. Amyl alcohol occurs as several isomers, i.e. same molecular weight (88.1) and formula (C5H12O) but different bond structure between the atoms. The solubility depends on which isomer you are refering to. e.g.

n-amyl alcohol (also called 1-pentanol) = 2.7 g per 100g water at 60 deg F

iso-amyl alcohol = 2g/100g

2-pentanol = 4 g/100g

3-pentanol = 5.5 g/100g

There are a few other isomers as well. Check out Perry's Handbook of Chemical Engineering, published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, NY
