Descriptions:
pubchem: Ethyl formate is a formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with ethanol. It has a role as a fumigant and a plant metabolite. It is an ethyl ester and a formate ester.
chebi: A formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with ethanol.
chembl: ETHOXYCARBONYL GROUP is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database but has not progressed to an approved clinical phase.
wikipedia: Ethyl formate is an ester formed when ethanol (an alcohol) reacts with formic acid (a carboxylic acid). Ethyl formate has the characteristic smell of rum and is partially responsible for the flavor of raspberries, occurring naturally in some plant oils, fruits, and juices.
