vinyyliformaatin
Vinyyliformaatti, chemical formula C5H8O2, is the ester formed from vinyl alcohol and formic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. The compound is relatively unstable due to the presence of the vinyl group, which can undergo polymerization. It is also susceptible to hydrolysis, breaking down into vinyl alcohol and formic acid, particularly in the presence of acids or bases.
Vinyyliformaatti has limited industrial applications due to its instability. It has been explored as a monomer
