Ethyl acetate tau dhau los ua cov tshuaj ester xws li alcoholysis, ammonolysis, transesterification, thiab txo. Nyob rau hauv lub xub ntiag ntawm metallic sodium, nws undergoes spontaneous condensation los tsim 3-hydroxy-2-butanone los yog ethyl acetoacetate; Nws reacts nrog Grignard's reagent los tsim ketones, uas ntxiv reacts tertiary alcohols.
Ethyl acetate yog qhov thermally ruaj khov, tsis muaj qhov hloov pauv tom qab cua sov ntawm 290℃rau 8-10 teev. Nws decomposes rau hauv ethylene thiab acetic acid thaum dhau los ntawm ib tug liab - kub hlau raj. Dhau los ntawm zinc hmoov rhuab mus rau 300-350℃decomposes nws mus rau hauv hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetone, thiab ethylene. Dhau los ntawm lub cev qhuav dej ntawm alumina ntawm 360℃decomposes rau hauv dej, ethylene, carbon dioxide, thiab acetone. Ethyl acetate decomposes nyob rau hauv ultraviolet lub teeb los tsim 55% carbon monoxide, 14% carbon dioxide, thiab 31% hydrogen los yog methane, los yog lwm yam nplaim taws.
Nws reacts nrog ozone los tsim acetaldehyde thiab acetic acid. Gaseous hydrogen halides teb nrog ethyl acetate los tsim haloethanes thiab acetic acid. Hydrogen iodide reacts yooj yim tshaj plaws, thaum hydrogen chloride xav tau siab kom decompose ntawm chav tsev kub. Thaum rhuab nrog phosphorus pentachloride rau 150 degree, nws tsim chloroethane thiab acetyl chloride. Ethyl acetate tsim ntau yam crystalline complexes nrog hlau ntsev. Cov complexes yog soluble hauv anhydrous ethanol tab sis insoluble hauv ethyl acetate thiab yooj yim hydrolyze hauv dej.
