CAS 79-20-9

Methyl acetate

Description:

Methyl acetate, with the CAS number 79-20-9, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is characterized by its colorless liquid form and a sweet, fruity odor reminiscent of pear or apple, making it a common solvent in various applications, including paints, coatings, and adhesives. Methyl acetate has a relatively low boiling point and is highly volatile, which contributes to its effectiveness as a solvent. It is soluble in water, alcohols, and many organic solvents, allowing it to be used in diverse formulations. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, as it poses health risks if inhaled or ingested. Methyl acetate is produced through the esterification of methanol and acetic acid, and it is valued for its low toxicity compared to other solvents. Additionally, it is considered a more environmentally friendly option due to its lower impact on air quality and its ability to degrade more readily in the environment.
