Ethyl methyl carbonate

Description:
Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O3. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, commonly used as a solvent and in the production of lithium-ion batteries due to its excellent electrochemical properties. EMC is characterized by its low viscosity and high polarity, which enhance its solubility in various organic solvents and its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar compounds. The substance has a relatively low boiling point and is flammable, necessitating careful handling and storage. Ethyl methyl carbonate is also known for its stability under normal conditions, although it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Additionally, it is considered to have low toxicity, making it a safer alternative to some other solvents. Its applications extend beyond battery technology to include use in coatings, adhesives, and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
