How is ethyl acetate produced in industry?

Oct 28, 2025 Leave a message

CAS 141-78-6 Ethyl acetate is a colorless transparent liquid with low toxicity, a sweet taste, and a pungent odor at high concentrations. It is volatile, sensitive to air, and can absorb water, causing it to slowly hydrolyze and undergo an acidic reaction. Can be miscible with chloroform, ethanol, acetone, and ether, soluble in water.

 

Ethyl acetate is industrially produced primarily through Fischer esterification, reacting ethanol and acetic acid with an acid catalyst, or through the Tishchenko reaction, which condenses two acetaldehyde molecules using an aluminum alkoxide catalyst. The esterification process is often enhanced in reactive distillation units, where continuous removal of products drives the reaction forward.
