Application

Ethyl propionate was used to study the effect of its gavage administration on gastric toxicity in male F344 rats.
Ethyl propionate, when used for contact dissolution of cholesterol gallstones, shows reduced side effects (attributable to increased blood levels) in piglets when compared to methyl tert-butyl ether.

General description

Ethyl propionate is a model for studying the fatty acid ethyl esters which are used as first-generation biodiesel.

A novel synthesis of Hantzsch-type N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines from salicaldehydes, ethyl propiolate, and amines has been developed. Salicaldehydes were treated with ethyl propiolate in the presence of N-methylmorpholine to give ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates. Three equivalents of ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates reacted with 1 equiv
