METHYL M-TOLYLACETATE - Introduction

METHYL 3-METHYLPHENYLACETATE, chemical formula C10H12O2, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, preparation and safety information:

Nature:
METHYL 3-METHYLPHENYLACETATE is a colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. It has a density of 1.011g/cm3, a boiling point of 227-228 ° C., and a flash point of 96 ° C. It can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

Use:
METHYL 3-METHYLPHENYLACETATE is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and has a wide range of applications. It is often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and pesticides, as an ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics, and also for esterification and substitution reactions in organic synthesis reactions.

Method:
METHYL 3-METHYLPHENYLACETATE can be prepared by reacting phenylacetic acid with methanol. The specific preparation method is the esterification reaction of phenylacetic acid and methanol under the catalysis of acid or alkali to produce METHYL 3-METHYLPHENYLACETATE.

Safety Information:
METHYL 3-METHYLPHENYLACETATE is generally considered to be relatively safe under normal conditions of use. However, it is a flammable liquid and may cause a fire when exposed to an open flame or high temperature. Avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids during use and storage. During operation, wear appropriate protective glasses, gloves and protective clothing to avoid contact with skin and eyes. If it comes into contact with skin, rinse immediately with water.
