  2. Methyl formate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_formate

    In the laboratory, methyl formate can be produced by the condensation reaction of methanol and formic acid, as follows: . HCOOH + CH 3 OH → HCOOCH 3 + H 2 O. Industrial methyl formate, however, is usually produced by the combination of methanol and carbon monoxide (carbonylation) in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium methoxide: [4]

    HCO 2 CH 3 + H 2 O → HCOOH + CH 3 OH. Efficient hydrolysis of methyl formate requires a large excess of water. Some routes proceed indirectly by first treating the methyl formate with ammonia to give formamide, which is then hydrolyzed with sulfuric acid: HCO 2 CH 3 + NH 3 → HC(O)NH 2 + CH 3 OH 2 HC(O)NH 2 + 2H 2 O + H 2 SO 4 → 2HCO 2 H ...

  5. Formate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formate

    Formate salts have the formula M(O 2 CH)(H 2 O) x. Such salts are prone to decarboxylation. For example, hydrated nickel formate decarboxylates at about 200 °C with reduction of the Ni 2+ to finely powdered nickel metal: Ni(HCO 2) 2 (H 2 O) 2 → Ni + 2 CO 2 + 2 H 2 O + H 2. Such fine powders are useful as hydrogenation catalysts. [1]

    For esters such as ethyl acetate (CH 3 COOCH 2 CH 3), ethyl formate (HCOOCH 2 CH 3) or dimethyl phthalate that are based on common acids, IUPAC recommends use of these established names, called retained names. The "-oate" changes to "-ate." Some simple examples, named both ways, are shown in the figure above.
