Isopropyl acetate is the ester formed from acetic acid and isopropanol, widely used as a solvent in coatings, inks, and pharmaceuticals. Classified under HTS 2915.39.90.00 as an 'other' acetic acid ester, it qualifies due to its saturated acyclic structure and lack of specific enumeration in prior subheadings. This covers industrial-grade solvents not listed as vinyl or allyl acetates.
