Isopropyl acetate is used as a solvent for coatings and printing inks. It is generally interchangeable with methyl ethyl ketone (CH3CH2COCH3) and ethyl acetate CH3CO2C2H5).

Organic esters are compounds of great importance for the industry, since they are intermediates in several chemical processes (Bhusari et al. 2020; Hamerski et al. 2020). Isopropyl acetate is an ester obtained in the esterification of acetic acid with 2-propanol and used as a solvent for synthetic resins (ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, and polystyrene). Other applications of isopropyl acetate are dehydrating agent and extractant in the production of pharmaceutical products; solvent and extractor in the paint, coatings, and fragrances industry (Fang et al., 2019; Z. Zhang et al. 2019).

The esterification reaction is one of the most important liquid phase organic synthesis processes. Organic esters have many applications such as solvents, intermediates, and in pharmaceutical industries (Sahu and Pandit 2019). Isopropyl acetate, for example, is used as a solvent in synthetic resins, fragrances and printing inks (Sakamur). Esters can be obtained by reactions involving anhydrides, aldehydes, nitriles, olefins, ethers, ketones and esters, but they are more often synthesized via Fischer esterification (Riemenschneider and Bolt 2005).
