Description:
Ethyl acetate, with the CAS number 141-78-6, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is colorless and has a characteristic sweet, fruity odor, often associated with nail polish remover. Ethyl acetate is highly volatile and has a relatively low boiling point, making it a common solvent in various applications, including paints, coatings, and adhesives. Its chemical formula is C4H8O2, and it is formed through the reaction of ethanol and acetic acid in a process known as esterification. Ethyl acetate is miscible with many organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. It is considered to have low toxicity, but inhalation of its vapors can cause irritation to the respiratory system and mucous membranes. In terms of reactivity, ethyl acetate can undergo hydrolysis, transesterification, and oxidation under certain conditions. Its properties make it a valuable solvent in laboratories and industrial processes, as well as in the production of flavorings and fragrances.
