Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Methyl acetate, chemical formula CH3COOCH3. Molecular weight 74.08. Colorless, combustible fluid with chloroform odor. Spicy. Volatile. Normally found in grapes and bananas. Melting point -98.1 ℃, boiling point 57 ℃ (101.3325 kPa), loved one density 0.9330, refractive index 1.3595. Soluble in ethanol, ether, water, acetone, benzene, chloroform. Soluble in water as much as 24% at 20 ℃. Can liquify lots of steel salts, and create CO2, H2 and carbon monoxide by ultraviolet irradiation. At heat, it responds with thorium oxide to produce acetone, methyl ether and carbon dioxide. Vapor forms explosive mixture with air, with surge limit of 4.1% to 14.0% (volume portion). It is anesthetic, a little aggravating to mucous membrane layers, and weak than ethyl acetate. LD503.2 g/kg (rat).
