    Uses and reactions

    edit

    It is also used in the production of some antimalarial drugs including pyrimethamine.[6]

    Ethyl propionate can be synthesized by the Fischer esterificationofethanol and propionic acid:

    CH3CH2OH + CH3CH2CO2H → CH3CH2O2CCH2CH3 + H2O

    It participates in condensation reactions by virtue of the weakly acidic methylene group.[7]
