METHYL ACETATE FOR SYNTHESIS
- Part number
- RXSOL-60-6604-958
- Category
- Lab Chemical
- Brand
- RXSOL
Overview
Methyl acetate is synthesized through esterification of acetic acid with methanol. In the production of methyl acetate the formation of the two low boiling azeotropic mixtures methyl acetate/methanol and methyl acetate/water results in separation difficult product isolation.
Applications
Applications. A major use of methyl acetate is as a volatile low toxicity solvent in glues, paints, and nail polish removers. Acetic anhydride is produced by carbonylation of methyl acetate in a process that was inspired by the Monsanto acetic acid synthesis.
Characteristics and notes
Methyl acetate is synthesized through esterification of acetic acid with methanol. In the production of methyl acetate the formation of the two low boiling azeotropic mixtures methyl acetate/methanol and methyl acetate/water results in separation difficult product isolation.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.
