Ethyl acetate

Fabricate a 3D molecule structure model of Ethyl acetate from Authentic Molymod Atoms & Bonds by indigoinstruments.com

Ethyl acetate (C4H9O2) is an organic ester that consists of an ethyl group (CH2CH3) attached to an acetate functional group (CH3COO). The molecule has a planar structure around the ester bond due to sp² hybridization at the carbonyl carbon. It has a variety of industrial applications. As a solvent it is used in paints, varnishes, coatings, and adhesives due to its fast evaporation rate. The pharmaceutical industry uses it in drug formulations as a solvent or extraction agent. The food & beverage industry uses it as a flavoring agent and in decaffeination of coffee and tea. Perfumes & cosmetics utilize its pleasant fruity odor.
