| | Clarification request(s) and responseSigrid Junkermann: 4:06pm Nov 25, 2005: Acetessigsäuremethylester - sorry about the mixed up title:
is it methyl acetoacetate? Can anyone confirm?
Sigrid Junkermann: 4:20pm Nov 25, 2005: Should be methyl acetoacetate ester,as I was able to confirm, methyl acetoacetic ester has NO google hits.
Cilian O'Tuama: 4:23pm Nov 25, 2005: maybe leave the question open much longer next time? -
Sigrid Junkermann: 4:53pm Nov 25, 2005: Of course, you are right Cilian
Ingo Dierkschnieder: 9:01pm Nov 25, 2005: Hi Sigrid, habe den Glossary-Eintrag in methyl acetoacetate geändert. Methyl acetoacetate ester macht keinen Sinn, da im acetate bereits der Ester drinsteckt. -
Sigrid Junkermann: 12:22am Nov 26, 2005: Hi Ingo,
I thought I had done that, but if you were still able to do it, I guess, it did not go through, strange, but thanks.

Sorry that was my mistake, of course it should be methyl acetoacetate ester, as the first reference also shows.

Actually, I'll take that back: methyl acetoacetic ester (which does indeed have google hits, see the chembuyersguide link) is right, methyl acetoacetate ester doesn't make any sense. Meaning: methyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetic ester. |
