Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthyl acetate
DescriptionEthyl acetate, also known as 1-acetoxyethane or acetic ester, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid esters. These are carboxylic acid derivatives in which the carbon atom from the carbonyl group is attached to an alkyl or an aryl moiety through an oxygen atom (forming an ester group). Ethyl acetate exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Ethyl acetate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Ethyl acetate is a potentially toxic compound.
