CAS 108-22-5: Isopropenyl acetate

Isopropenyl acetate is a fatty acid that is esterified with acetic anhydride to form a quinoline derivative. This reaction is catalyzed by the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zirconium oxide. The product can be used as a reactant in cationic polymerization reactions. Isopropenyl acetate has been shown to have kinetic and thermodynamic properties that are similar to those of other polyethers, and it also reacts in the same manner as glycol ethers.

Iodine in isopropenyl acetate is a unique catalyst for the acetylation of a variety of alcohols, phenols and amines under solvent free conditions. It is used as a solvent for cellulose, plastics, oil and fats. It is also a building block used for various organic synthesis.
