Methyl acetate Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | colourless liquid with a pleasant odour |
General Description | A clear colorless liquid with a fragrant odor. Moderately toxic. Flash point 14°F. Vapors heavier than air. |
Air & Water Reactions | Highly flammable. Water soluble. |
Reactivity Profile | Methyl acetate presents a fire or explosion hazard when exposed to strong oxidizing agents. Emits irritating fumes and acrid smoke when heated to decomposition, [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 826]. Methyl acetate reactivity is consistent with other compounds of the ester group. |
Health Hazard | (Very similar to those of methyl alcohol, which constitutes 20% of commercial grade.) Inhalation causes headache, fatigue, and drowsiness; high concentrations can produce central nervous system depression and optic nerve damage. Liquid irritates eyes and may cause defatting and cracking of skin. Ingestion causes headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue; may cause severe eye damage. |
Fire Hazard | Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. |
