2. Ethyl acetate - Wikipedia

   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 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. Ethyl acetoacetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_acetoacetate

   At large scale, ethyl acetoacetate is industrially produced by treatment of diketene with ethanol. [2] The small scale preparation of ethyl acetoacetate is a classic laboratory procedure. [3] It involves Claisen condensation of ethyl acetate. Two moles of ethyl acetate condense to form one mole each of ethyl acetoacetate and ethanol.

5. Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

   Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), also known as poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate) (PEVA), is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 50%, with the remainder being ethylene. There are three different types of EVA copolymer, which differ in the vinyl acetate (VA) content and the way the ...

6. Ester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

   Ester. An ester of a carboxylic acid. R stands for any group (typically hydrogen or organyl) and R ′ stands for any organyl group. In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ...

7. Acetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetate

   In fact, "acetate" is jargon for cellulose acetate, which is used in the production of fibres or diverse products, e.g. the acetate discs used in audio record production. Cellulose acetate can be found in many household products. Many industrial solvents are acetates, including methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, ethylhexyl acetate.

8. Methyl acetate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_acetate

   Methyl acetate is occasionally used as a solvent, being weakly polar and lipophilic, but its close relative ethyl acetate is a more common solvent being less toxic and less soluble in water. Methyl acetate has a solubility of 25% in water at room temperature. At elevated temperature its solubility in water is much higher.

9. Fischer–Speier esterification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer–Speier...

   Fischer esterification or Fischer–Speier esterification is a special type of esterification by refluxing a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. The reaction was first described by Emil Fischer and Arthur Speier in 1895. [1] Most carboxylic acids are suitable for the reaction, but the alcohol should generally be ...
