CAS 79-20-9 Methyl acetate is a carboxylic acid ester with the molecular formula C3H6O2. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a typical ester odor similar to that of glues and nail polish remover. It is very flammable, with a flash point of -10°C and a flammability rating of 3. Methyl acetate is commonly used in low-toxicity solvents such as glues and nail polish remover.
Is methyl acetate (cas no 79-20-9) a strong base?
No, methyl acetate (cas no 79-20-9) is not a strong base; it is a very weak base, essentially functionally neutral in an aqueous solution.
Preparation of methyl acetate
Methyl acetate (cas no 79-20-9) is produced industrially via the carbonylation of methanol as a by-product of the production of acetic acid.⁶ Methyl acetate also arises by esterification of acetic acid with methanol in the presence of strong acids, such as sulfuric acid. This production process is well known because of Eastman Kodak's intensified process using reactive distillation.
