Description
Acetic acid ethyl ester is an extra pure solvent of Ph.Eur. quality with a minimum assay of 99,5 %. Identified by CAS number 141-78-6 and empirical formula C₄H₈O₂, it has a molar mass of 88,11 g/mol and a density of 0,9003 g/cm³. The boiling point is 77,1 °C and the flash point is −4 °C, supporting controlled handling in laboratory settings. Typical uses include extraction, chromatography sample preparation and organic synthesis where defined purity and reproducible physical properties matter. The substance is listed under EG nr. 205-500-4. This quality is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratories that specify Ph.Eur. extra pure ethyl acetate. Consistent composition and clear specification data help integrate the solvent into validated methods and routine workflows without unnecessary reformulation.
This article is part of Technical & synthesis grade solvents, in Solvents.

Questions about Acetic acid ethyl ester, min. 99,5 %, Ph.Eur., extra pure, 1 l, glass
What is this article?
Acetic acid ethyl ester, min. 99,5 %, Ph.Eur., extra pure, 1 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Technical & synthesis grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
Technical and synthesis grades are for cleaning, for a coarse extraction and for chemistry that does not end in a chromatogram. They cost less because more impurity is allowed. They are the wrong bottle to make a mobile phase or a volumetric standard.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Technical & synthesis grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis) and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
