Description

Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (EMEA) is a solvent that is used for the extraction of organic compounds in the laboratory. It can be used to extract fatty acids from animal tissue or to isolate DNA from blood samples. EMEA is also used as a solvent in analytical methods such as gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. This compound is mainly used as an inorganic acid, but it can also be used as a nitrogen source for some chemical reactions. EMEA reacts with light exposure, which makes it a potent inducer of chemical reactions. The hydrolysis reaction of EMEA by hydrochloric acid yields glycol ethers and diethyl succinate.
