Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name DIETHYL OXALATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Chemical identity and properties

PubChem 2D chemical structure for CAS 95-92-1

CAS 95-92-1PubChem CID 7268

Diethyl Oxalate

Ethyl oxalate appears as a colorless liquid. Slightly denser than water and insoluble in water. Hence sinks in water. May irritate skin and mucous membranes; may be mildly toxic by ingestion; may emit irritating fumes in a fire. Vapors are much heavier than air. Used as a solvent for plastics and in the manufacture of perfumes and pharmaceuticals. — CAMEO Chemicals
