Acetic acid ethyl ester [141-78-6] |
| In mammals acetic acid ethyl ester (1) is hydrolyzed very rapidly by esterases to give acetic acid (2) and ethanol (3). Microorganisms probably use the same degradation pathway. Acetic acid (2) is a normal intermediate product of cells, which can be incorporated into the primary metabolism of the cell. Further degradation of ethanol (3) see on metabolism page of ethanol. |
