Ethyl acrylate, an organic acrylic ester compound, is a clear, colorless, and volatile liquid with a fruity odor and moderate water solubility. Its chemical formula is CH2=CHCOOC2H5, with a molecular weight of 100.1 and CAS No. 140-88-5.
This compound is highly reactive and used in various chemical reactions. It serves as a raw material for products like fiber treatment agents, adhesives, paints, resins, acrylic rubber, emulsions, and processing agents for leather and paper. Additionally, it's found in pharmaceutical intermediates and used as a flavoring agent, detectable in pineapple and Beaufort cheese.
Ethyl acrylate has properties such as a melting point of -105°F, a boiling point of 177°F, a flash point of 27°F, and a density of 0.953-0.959 g/mL at 68°F. It's synthesized through the esterification of ethanol with acrylic acid, typically involving an acid catalyst. Industrial production may use the Reppe reaction with acetylene, carbon monoxide, ethanol, and a nickel (II) bromide catalyst. Commercial ethyl acrylate includes polymerization inhibitors like hydroquinone to prevent radical-induced polymerization.
Produced by esterifying ethanol with acrylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst or through the Reppe reaction.
Involved in various reactions like ester exchange, Michael addition, polymerization, and Diels-Alder reaction.
Available in both large volumes for industrial use and smaller quantities for reagent applications, with packaging varying from small bottles to large drums and trucks.
Handling ethyl acrylate requires caution due to potential hazards like drowsiness, dizziness, long-term health impacts, and aquatic toxicity. Though it's a suspected carcinogen in animal studies, its carcinogenicity to humans is not conclusively determined.
