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.
A skeletal isomer of a compound is a structural isomer that differs from it in the atoms and bonds that are considered to comprise the "skeleton" of the molecule. For organic compounds, such as alkanes, that usually means the carbon atoms and the bonds between them.

The compound with the formula (C 5 H 5) 2 Fe 2 (CO) 4 exists as three isomers in solution. In one isomer the CO ligands are terminal. When a pair of CO are bridging, cis and trans isomers are possible depending on the location of the C 5 H 5 groups. [7] Another example in organometallic chemistry is the linkage isomerization of ...
The molecular formula C 8 H 8 O 2 may refer to: Anisaldehyde (p-anisaldehyde) Benzodioxan; 3,4-Dihydroxystyrene; 3-Hydroxyacetophenone; 2-Hydroxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde;
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.
The English word "isomer" (/ ˈ aɪ s əm ər /) is a back-formation from "isomeric", [2] which was borrowed through German isomerisch [3] from Swedish isomerisk; which in turn was coined from Greek ἰσόμερoς isómeros, with roots isos = "equal", méros = "part". [4] Two broad types of isomers
In a related reaction, thioesters can be converted into esters. [9] Thioacetate esters can also be cleaved with methanethiol in the presence of stoichiometric base, as illustrated in the preparation of pent-4-yne-1-thiol: [10] H 3 C(CH 2) 3 OMs + KSAc → H 3 C(CH 2) 3 SAc + KOMs H 3 C(CH 2) 3 SAc + HSMe → H 3 C(CH 2) 3 SH + MeSAc
