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.

When part of a salt, the formula of the acetate ion is written as CH 3 CO − 2, C 2 H 3 O − 2, or CH 3 COO −. 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]).

Ethyl acetoacetate is subject to keto-enol tautomerism.In the neat liquid at 33 °C, the enol consists of 15% of the total. [5]The enol is moderately acidic. Thus ethyl acetoacetate behaves similarly to acetylacetone: [6]
Uranyl acetate is the acetate salt of uranium oxide, a toxic yellow-green powder useful in certain laboratory tests. Structurally, it is a coordination polymer with formula UO 2 (CH 3 CO 2 ) 2 (H 2 O)·H 2 O.
Potassium acetate (as a substitute for calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) can be used as a deicer to remove ice or prevent its formation. It offers the advantage of being less aggressive on soils and much less corrosive: [5] for this reason, it is preferred for airport runways although it is more expensive.
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.
