Acetate
An acetate is a derivative of acetic acid - that is, the salts, esters, and the polyatomic anion found in solution - and is often written with the chemical formulas C2H3O2−, CH3CO2−, or CH3COO−. Most of the approximately 5 billion kilograms of acetic acid produced annually in industry are used in the production of acetates, which usually take the form of polymers. In nature, acetate is the most common building block for biosynthesis. For example, the fatty acids are produced by connecting the two carbon atoms from acetate to a growing fatty acid.
