Ethyl acetate (systematically, ethyl ethanoate, commonly abbreviated EtOAc or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH3COOCH2CH3.
- Physical Properties: Ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6) is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor at room temperature. It has a low boiling point and is highly volatile. It is insoluble in water but miscible with many organic solvents.
- Chemical Properties: Ethyl Acetate exhibits moderate reactivity. It can undergo ester exchange reactions with other alcohols or acids to form new esters. Additionally, under specific conditions, it may hydrolyze to produce acetic acid and ethanol.
- Stability: Ethyl Acetate is stable at room temperature but may decompose under high temperatures, high humidity, or upon contact with alkalis. Store in a cool, dry place away from fire sources and strong alkalis.
- Solubility: While insoluble in water, it dissolves many organic substances such as fats and resins.
- Applications: Due to its distinctive aroma and solubility, ethyl acetate is widely used in industries including fragrances, coatings, paints, and inks. It also finds applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
