methyl butyrate usage and synthesis

chemical properties	colourless liquid
general description	a clear colorless liquid. flash point 57°f. less dense than water and slightly soluble in water. hence floats on water. vapors heavier than air.
air & water reactions	highly flammable. slightly soluble in water.
reactivity profile	methyl butyrate reacts exothermically with acids to generate alcohols and carboxylic acids. strong oxidizing acids may cause a reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. heat is also generated by interaction with basic or caustic solutions. flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides .
health hazard	irritating to the eyes, nose, throat, upper respiratory tract, and skin.
fire hazard	highly flammable: will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. most vapors are heavier than air. they will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. containers may explode when heated. many liquids are lighter than water.
