What are the physical properties of ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6)?

Ethyl acetate CAS 141-78-6 also known as ethyl ethanoate, is a significant chemical compound extremely utilized as a dissolvable in numerous reactions of chemicals. Its stable physical properties, mild odor, suitable volatility and balanced solvency make it a preferred choice for manufacturers worldwide.

Basic Information of Ethyl Acetate

• Chemical Name: Ethyl Acetate/EA/EtOAc
• CAS Number: 141-78-6
• Chemical Formula: C₄H₈O₂
• Molecular Formula: CH₃COOC₂H₅
• Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid
• Odor: Mild, sweet and fruity characteristic smell

Physical Properties of Ethyl Acetate

The melting point and the boiling points are -83.6 °C and 77.06 °C, and the density is 0.894 g mL-1. Ethyl acetic acid derivation isn't dissolvable in water, yet it is dissolvable in the majority of natural solvents, for example, toluene, benzene, and chloroform.

Chemical Properties of Ethyl Acetate

Ethyl Acetate and different esters can be hydrolyzed to the related carboxylic acid and ethanol, and even in the example of ethyl acetate, acids or bases are used as catalysts, and substances to promote the reaction of acetic acid and ethanol are created after a two-stage component.
Transesterification is another significant ethyl acetate reaction where the ester methoxy group can be replaced by an alcohol R- group.

Safety information

Ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6) is a flammable industrial solvent. Proper safety precautions must be taken when using, storing, or transporting ethyl acetate.

1. Fire and Explosion Risks: Ethyl acetate is flammable and has a low flash point. Never expose it to open flames, high temperatures, or flammable materials. Use in a well-ventilated area.
2. Personal Protection: Never inhale ethyl acetate vapors for extended periods. Wear safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves, and protective clothing. Maintain good ventilation to reduce the vapor concentration in the air.
3. Storage: Store ethyl acetate in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from strong oxidizers and strong acids. Ensure containers are tightly closed to prevent leakage or evaporation.
4. Skin & Eye Contact: If ethyl acetate comes into contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with water. If eyes feel painful, seek medical attention.
5. Important Note: Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for complete safety information and instructions for use. Contact us for the ethyl acetate SDS!
