Methyl acetate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH3COOCH3. It is an ester, which is a type of organic compound derived from an alcohol and an organic acid. In the case of methyl acetate, it is formed from the reaction between methanol (CH3OH) and acetic acid (CH3COOH).
Methyl acetate is a colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. It is commonly used as a solvent in various applications, such as in paints, coatings, adhesives, and in the manufacture of some flavors and fragrances. It's also used as a cleaning agent, and its low toxicity and pleasant smell make it suitable for certain consumer products.
Additionally, methyl acetate can be used as a chemical intermediate in the production of other compounds, and it's often favored for its relatively low environmental impact compared to some other solvents.
