Chemical Properties clear yellow liquid General Description Clear, colorless to yellowish liquid with a strawberry-like odor. Air & Water Reactions Insoluble in water. Reactivity Profile Esters, such as Ethyl 3-methyl-3-phenylglycidate, 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. Fire Hazard Ethyl 3-methyl-3-phenylglycidate is probably combustible.
