General description

Methyl acetate is an acetate ester, classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC). It is used as a solvent for many resins and oils.

Application

The analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Quantitative analysis of seven volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paint coating samples by dynamic headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (D-HS-GC-MS)
  • Detection of 88 VOCs in breath samples of lung cancer patients using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with GC-MS
  • Development of a thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TDS-GC/MS) based method for the identification of very volatile organic compounds (VVOCs) in indoor air samples

Recent calorimetric measurements of the solvation enthalpies of some dipeptide analogs confirm our earlier prediction that the principle of group additivity is not valid for the interaction of the peptide group with water. We examine the consequences for understanding the

Several serine hydrolases catalyze a promiscuous reaction: perhydrolysis of carboxylic acids to form peroxycarboxylic acids. The working hypothesis is that perhydrolases are more selective than esterases for hydrogen peroxide over water. In this study, we tested this hypothesis, and focused
