Ethyl 3-bromopropionate is prepared by hydrobromination of ethyl acrylate. Other chemical stabilizers include ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone. The most common alkyl esters of acrylic acid are methyl, butyl, ethyl, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. It is a structural isomer of 1-propanol and ethyl methyl ether. Its hardener is a peroxide, often MEKP (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide). Note that methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc. These groups can range from methyl, ethyl, propyl, octyl, or phenyl groups. They are insoluble in cold water, benzene, ethyl ether, and acetone. It can be stabilized with hydroquinone or hydroquinone ethyl ether. Loteprednol etabonate is an ester of loteprednol with etabonate (ethyl carbonate). Others are indalone, dimethyl phthalate, dimethyl carbate, and ethyl hexanediol. It is prepared via the Claisen condensation of ethyl acetate. The method is used in the production of ethyl acetate from acetaldehyde. It is also used as a solvent in nail polish along with ethyl acetate. Excessive amounts of ethyl acetate are considered a wine fault.
