Acetic acid, 2,2'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(oxy)]bis-, dimethyl ester

Description:
Acetic acid, 2,2'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(oxy)]bis-, dimethyl ester, commonly known as dimethyl 2,2'-ethanediylbis(oxy)diacetate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups. It features a central ethylene glycol unit with two acetic acid moieties attached via ester linkages. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor, indicative of its ester nature. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic acetic acid groups. The compound is used in various applications, including as a solvent, plasticizer, and in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical stability and relatively low toxicity make it suitable for use in food and cosmetic formulations. However, like many esters, it may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acids or bases, leading to the release of acetic acid and the corresponding alcohol. Proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its integrity and prevent degradation.
