ethyl 3-[4-[[(4-ethoxyphenyl)methylene]amino]phenyl]acrylate

Use

ethyl 3-[4-[[(4-ethoxyphenyl)methylene]amino]phenyl]acrylate is an ester derivative. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. ethyl 3-[4-[[(4-ethoxyphenyl)methylene]amino]phenyl]acrylate is also an amine and may be reactive at that functional group.
