icosyl acetate - Introduction
Acetates are a class of compounds with the chemical structure C>19-alkyl esters. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of acetate:
Nature:
Acetate is mainly prepared by the reaction of acetic acid and long-chain alcohols, so it has properties similar to acetic acid. It is usually a colorless or light yellow liquid with a pungent odor. Acetates are insoluble in water at room temperature, but are soluble in many organic solvents.
Use:
Acetate is widely used in industry. They are commonly used as solvents, impregnating agents, lubricants, plasticizers, paint thinners, etc., and can also be used as ingredients in pharmaceuticals, perfumes and cosmetics.
Preparation Method:
The preparation method of acetic acid ester can be obtained by esterification reaction of acetic acid and long chain alcohol. Reaction conditions generally require the presence of a catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or benzenesulfonic acid. The product acetate of this reaction can be purified by distillation.
Safety Information:
Acetate has low toxicity under general conditions, but long-term exposure may cause irritation to the human body. Therefore, the use of acetate requires attention to personal protection, such as wearing appropriate protective gloves, goggles and protective face shields. In addition, acetate is flammable and should be kept away from open flames or high heat sources and stored in sealed containers. Proper laboratory and industrial safety procedures should be followed when handling acetate. In case of spilling or contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
