How to write the structural formula of ethyl acetate?

Ethyl acetate structural formula: C? h？ o？ . Structural abbreviation: CH? CH？ OOCCH？ .

Ethyl acetate, also known as ethyl acetate, has a molecular weight of 88. 1 1. It is an ester with functional group -COOR (there is a double bond between carbon and oxygen), which can react with common esters such as alcoholysis, ammonolysis, transesterification and reduction at the same time. Low toxicity, sweet taste, pungent smell at high concentration, volatile, good solubility and fast drying.

Widely used, it is an important organic chemical raw material and industrial solvent. It belongs to Class I flammable materials and should be stored in a low-temperature ventilated place, away from fire sources. It is usually prepared by esterification of acetic acid and ethanol in the laboratory.

Extended data:

Ethyl acetate is easy to hydrolyze. When water exists at room temperature, it will gradually hydrolyze to produce acetic acid and ethanol. Adding a small amount of acid or alkali can promote the hydrolysis reaction. The biggest difference between alkaline hydrolysis and acidic hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is that alkaline hydrolysis is irreversible, that is, reversible process and irreversible process in reaction mechanism.

The reversible reaction between acetic acid and ethanol will produce ethyl acetate. Old wine tastes good because a small amount of acetic acid reacts with ethanol to produce fruity ethyl acetate.
