Isopropyl formate ( IUPAC : isopropyl methanoate , also isopropyl formate ) is the ester of isopropanol and formic acid .

presentation

Isopropyl formate can be prepared from formic acid and isopropanol by esterification .

properties

Isopropyl formate can be saponified by reaction with water in the reverse of the formation reaction , i.e. H. be split. The hydrolysis can be catalyzed by both acids and bases . The flash point is −13.9 ° C. The thermal decomposition of isopropyl formate at 310–335 ° C initially yields propene and formic acid, which then forms further decomposition products.
