    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_acetate

    Ethyl acetate (systematically ethyl ethanoate, commonly abbreviated EtOAc, ETAC or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 CH 2 CH 3, simplified to C 4 H 8 O 2.This flammable, colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee.

  3. Acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate

    Chemists often represent acetate as OAc − or, less commonly, AcO −. Thus, HOAc is the symbol for acetic acid, NaOAc for sodium acetate, and EtOAc for ethyl acetate [1] (as Ac is common symbol for acetyl group CH 3 CO [2] [3]).The pseudoelement symbol "Ac" is also sometimes encountered in chemical formulas as indicating the entire acetate ...

  4. Isopropyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_acetate

    Isopropyl acetate is a solvent with a wide variety of manufacturing uses that is miscible with most other organic solvents, and slightly soluble in water (although less so than ethyl acetate). It is used as a solvent for cellulose, plastics, oil and fats. It is a component of some printing inks [4] and perfumes.

  5. Propyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propyl_acetate

    Propyl acetate, also known as propyl ethanoate, is an organic compound. Nearly 20,000 tons are produced annually for use as a solvent. This colorless liquid is known by its characteristic odor of pears. Due to this fact, it is commonly used in fragrances and as a flavor additive.

  6. Methyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_acetate

    The conversion of methyl acetate back into its components, by an acid, is a first-order reaction with respect to the ester. The reaction of methyl acetate and a base, for example sodium hydroxide, is a second-order reaction with respect to both reactants. Methyl acetate is a Lewis base that forms 1:1 adducts with a variety of Lewis acids.

  7. Calcium acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_acetate

    Calcium acetate is a chemical compound which is a calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca(C 2 H 3 O 2) 2. Its standard name is calcium acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic name. An older name is acetate of lime. The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate (Ca(CH 3 COO) 2 •H 2 O) is the common form.
