What is Ethyl glycolate?
Chemical properties
clear colorless liquid
The Uses of Ethyl glycolate
Ethyl glycolate, is an important building block for the preparation of agrochemicals and medicinal compounds. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dye stuff. It is also used in synthetic chemistry, discovery process and R&D. It also can be used as solvents.
Production Methods
The corresponding acid occurs in unripe Grapes. Ethyl glycolate is produced from Ethylene glycol by oxidation to Glycoiiic acid, followed by esterification.
General Description
Ethyl glycollate is an ester. Microwave spectra of ethyl glycollate and its deuterated species has been reported.
