Ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear liquid

Chemical Properties

Ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate is a flammable, colorless liquid.

Uses

Ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate is used in the synthesis of phenols and selective inhibitors of cyclin-dependant kinase 4/6 for novel cancer therapies. It is also used as a solvent to prepare polymers. Further, it is used in paints and coatings.

Uses

Used as solvent in preparing new polymers.1,2

General Description

Water-white liquid with an ester-like odor. Floats on water.

Reactivity Profile

Ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Health Hazard

Liquid or mist may irritate th eyes and skin. May cause headache, nausea and vomiting, central nervous system depression with dizziness, drowsiness and unconsciousness.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
