Description

• General description: Ethyl acetate (EA), a carboxylate ester, is bio-friendly organic solvent with a wide range of industrial applications.[1] Its synthesis by reactive distillation[2][3] and by acceptorless dehydrogenative dimerization of ethanol has been explored.[4] Its ability as an acyl acceptor in the immobilized lipase-mediated preparation of biodiesel from crude vegetable oils has been examined.[5] The complete degradation of ethyl acetate to CO2 using manganese octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) has been investigated.[6] EA is an effective alternate solvent of diethyl ether, employed for the concentration of eggs, larvae, and cysts in fecal specimens during the Formalin-ether sedimentation technique.[7] Acetaldehyde is reaction intermediate formed during the oxidative combustion of ethanol and ethyl acetate in the presence of copper oxide embedded on Ce-doped titania surface.[8]
• Application: Ethyl acetate may be used in the following studies:As solvent for the isolation of Rose hip (Rosa canina L., Rosaceae) powder, via sonication.[9] As solvent for the abstraction of volatile thiols from wine for their quantitative estimation by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS).[10]Preparation of thin films of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) on glass.[11]As an extraction medium in the multi-residue analysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables.[12]Acetylation of primary amines to form amides in the presence of dimethyltin(IV) acetic acid distannoxane.[13]
