Template talk:Acetates

There is an error: Ac means acetyl CH3C(=O)- So if someone wants to write copper acetate he should write: Cu(OAc)2 not CuAc2 Acetic acid is: AcOH not AcH --Synthesium (talk) 12:59, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have changed things. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:05, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Salts and ester? What about halides?

Description is pretty bad, CH3COX where x=I,Br,Cl,F,Ac,B aren't salts or esters. Also AcOAc isn't in proper place, should be rather under ester as carbon not O is bound to acetate oxygen. Under "O" there could be peroxacetic acid and it's derivatives. Mithoron (talk) 23:25, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved things around as you suggest. And there is not even an article on "acetyl ester" so I have stopped drawing attention to it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:06, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
