Descriptions:
pubchem: Methyl formate is a formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with methanol. A low-boiling (31.5 C) colourless, flammable liquid, it has been used as a fumigant and larvicide for tobacco and food crops. It has a role as an insecticide, a fumigant, a polar aprotic solvent and a refrigerant. It is a volatile organic compound, a methyl ester and a formate ester. It is functionally related to a methanol.
chebi: A formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with methanol. A low-boiling (31.5 °C) colourless, flammable liquid, it has been used as a fumigant and larvicide for tobacco and food crops.
chembl: FORMIC ACID METHYL ESTER is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database but has not progressed to an approved clinical phase.
wikipedia: Methyl formate, also called methyl methanoate, is the methyl ester of formic acid. It has the chemical formula HCOOCH3. The simplest example of a carboxylate ester, it is a colourless liquid with an ethereal odour, high vapor pressure, and low surface tension. It is a precursor to many other compounds of commercial interest.
