Vinyl acetate CAS# 108-05-4
1. Flammability & Solubility: Clear, highly flammable liquid that mixes well with ethanol and dissolves in organic solvents like ether, acetone, and chloroform.
2. Pleasant Odor: Emits a sweet, fruity, and pleasant odor, making it ideal for applications requiring an aromatic presence.
3. Chemical Reactivity: Reacts with acids, bases, and oxidizing agents, making it useful in various polymerization processes and chemical syntheses.
4. Storage Sensitivity: Sensitive to light and requires careful storage, often stabilized with hydroquinone to prevent polymerization.
A clear, flammable liquid with a pleasant ether-like odor. It mixes well with ethanol and is soluble in organic solvents like ether, acetone, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride, but does not dissolve in water.
