LITERATURE REVIEW Methyl acetate is a carboxylate ester with the formula CH3COOCH3 which is also known as MeOAc, acetic acid methyl ester or methyl ethanoate. It is colorless, flammable liquid ester with fra rant odour. !ue to its weakly "olar and li"o"hilic, methyl acetate is usually used as a sol#ent. At room tem"erature, it has a solubility of $%& in water and it is not stable in the "resence of stron aqueous bases or aqueous acids. 'esides, it is hi hly miscible in all common or anic sol#ents such as alcohols, ketones, lycols and esters. At ele#ated tem"erature, it is more soluble in water. Methyl acetate "resents a fire or ex"losion ha(ard when ex"osed to stron oxidi(in a ents. It emits irritatin fumes and acrid smoke when heated to decom"osition. Methyl acetate reacti#ity is consistent with other com"ounds of the ester rou". A new methyl acetate synthesis "rocess has de#elo"ed by Hen mao Com"any with their own "ro"erty ri hts. In Hen mao "rocess, sul"huric acid catalyst has been re"laced by usin solid acidic resin. )ia reaction, distillation and rectification, hi h concentration of methyl acetate which is **& in concentration can be "roduced. 'y increasin the reactants concentration, reaction s"eed can be enhanced in the reactor. 'esides, the re#erse and side reactions are inhibited by "ro"ellin reaction "roducts of reaction area quickly. 'y modifyin the structure of distillation column, the efficiency of the se"aration is si nificantly increased. As well as low o"eration and equi"ment in#estment cost, the current reaction distillation "rocess has the ad#anta es of hi h yield and easy o"eration. +he "rocess where sul"huric acid is used as a catalyst, it causes serious corrosion to the equi"ment. +herefore, by usin solid acidic catalyst, it can reduce reatly equi"ment corrosion and equi"ment life s"an is extended.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF METHYL ACETATE +hey are neutral colourless liquids "ossessin characteristic fruity odours. 'oilin "oint of methyl acetate is %/0C. It is much lower than the "arent of acid, since the former are unassociated liquids. 1"ecific ra#ity of methyl acetate is 2.*3 3,%0C4. )a"or density is ,3%.* mbar 3*.50C4. Meltin "oint of methyl acetate is 6*70C. Its #iscosity is obtained at 2.523m.a.1 3,%0C4. 8lash "oint is obtained at 6,50C. It is enerally insoluble in water and soluble in most or anic sol#ents. In the I9 s"ectrum, esters show characteristic C:2 stretchin frequency at ,/3% cm6,. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF METHYL ACETATE It i#es nucleo"hillic substitution reactions which is similar to acid halides and anhydrides. It under oes nucleo"hillic reactions less readily unlike acid halides or anhydrides. +his is due to the resonance effect. +he carbonyl carbon in their molecule is electron deficient owin to the electron withdrawin effect of ;OH6,and carries a "artial "ositi#e char e. +he electron6deficiency decreases due to the delocali(ation of unshared electron "air on oxy en atom which becomes less "rone to nucleo"hillic attack.

<sed as a sol#ent in fast dryin "aints and in the manufacturin of cellulose adhesi#es, "erfumes and as a relational sol#ent in dye "roduction. Methyl acetate is useful as the fast6e#a"oratin com"onent in hi h6low sol#ent systems and in other a""lications where fast sol#ent release and quick dry6to6touch time are needed due to its fast e#a"oration rate. It is also used in the "roduction motor #ehicle coatin s, cosmetics, furniture coatin s and industrial coatin s. It is used in artificial fruit fla#ors and in inor anic sol#ent such as Methyl AcetoAcetate. It is also used in the "roduction of synthetic "roducts such as "esticides, fibres, sol#ents and "lastici(ers. GENERAL REACTION OF METHYL ACETATE Hydrolysis In the "resence of a catalyst 3H$1O5 or HCl4, esters that heated with water are hydrolysed to i#e the "arent carboxylic acid and alcohol. Methyl acetate = water Acetic acid = Methanol Can also achie#e by refluxin with aqueous solution of a stron base such as 1odium Hydroxide. Methyl Acetate = 1odium Hydroxide Transesterification In the "resence of a mineral acid, esters of an alcohol can react with another lower alcohol, so it i#e the ester of second alcohol. >thyl Acetate = Methanol Reaction with Ammonia (Ammonylysis) Methyl Acetate = Ammonia >thanamide= Methanol Methyl Acetate = >thanol 1odium Acetate = Methanol

It is a combination of chemical reaction with distillation in only one unit. In addition, it is usually used with re#ersible, liquid "hase reactions or at the surface of a solid catalyst in contact with the liquid "hase. It is a key of o""ortunity to im"ro#e the structure of a "rocess. It is also called hybrid "rocess in which two different unit o"erations are mer ed in a sin le a""aratus, namely reaction and distillation. If the conditions of both unit o"erations can be combined, then the combination of the reaction and distillation is "ossible. Acetic acid+ Methano CH#COOH + CH#OH Meth!
