methyl acetate is also known as acetic acid methyl ester.It is in the form of a clear, highly flammable liquid with a pleasant smell reminiscent of some glues and nail polish removers. Its characteristics are very similar to those of ethyl acetate. Weakly polar (lipophilic) and aprotic, it is fairly soluble in water at elevated temperatures. It hydrolyses at an elevated temperature: into methanol and acetic acid (in the presence of strong aqueous acids or into acetate in the presence of a strong aqueous base).
Methyl acetate is used as a solvent in glue, paint and nail polish remover, in organic synthesis and for extractions.C3H6O2 is a carboxylate ester with a chemical name Methyl acetate. It is also called Methyl ethanoate or Methylacetat or Methyl ester of acetic acid. It is an acetate ester which results from the condensation of acetic acid and methanol.Methyl ethanoate is a clear liquid which has no colour and has a fragrant fruity odour. It is moderately toxic and vapours are heavier than air. It is commonly found in apple and various other fruits such as bananas, grapes, etc. As it is an ester it can be synthesized in an esterification reaction by reacting acetic acid with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid.
