Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Ethyl carbonate is a colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. It is commonly used as a solvent, reagent, and intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be synthesized by the reaction of ethanol with phosgene or by transesterification of diethyl carbonate with ethanol. Ethyl carbonate is known to be a mild alkylating agent and has been used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other fine chemicals. It has also been investigated for its potential use as a fuel additive and as a component of battery electrolytes. Its high volatility and flammability warrant caution in handling and storage. The compound is studied for its diverse applications and its potential environmental impact.'
