The acetate anion, [CH 3 COO] −,(or [C 2 H 3 O 2] −) is one of the carboxylate family. It is the conjugate base of acetic acid. Above a pH of 5.5, acetic acid converts to acetate: [1] CH 3 COOH ⇌ CH 3 COO − + H + Many acetate salts are ionic, indicated by their tendency to dissolve well in water.
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.
Vinyl acetate is the acetate ester of vinyl alcohol. Since vinyl alcohol is highly unstable (with respect to acetaldehyde), the preparation of vinyl acetate is more complex than the synthesis of other acetate esters. The major industrial route involves the reaction of ethylene and acetic acid with oxygen in the presence of a palladium catalyst. [6]
Aluminium acetate or aluminium ethanoate [1] (also "aluminum ~"), sometimes abbreviated AlAc in geochemistry, [2] can refer to a number of different salts of aluminium with acetic acid. In the solid state, three salts exist under this name: basic aluminium monoacetate , (HO) 2 AlCH 3 CO 2 , basic aluminium diacetate , HOAl(CH 3 CO 2 ) 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]
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.
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.
Amyl acetate (pentyl acetate) is an organic compound and an ester with the chemical formula CH 3 COO[CH 2] 4 CH 3 and the molecular weight 130.19 g/mol. It is colorless and has a scent similar to bananas [3] [4] and apples. [5] The compound is the condensation product of acetic acid and 1-pentanol.
