Title: Isomerism in methyl acetate and ethyl formate
Post by: adianadiadi on April 24, 2011, 09:44:20 AM

What is the name of isomerism exhibited by methyl acetate and ethyl formate. Both are esters. So not functional isomers.

Do you call them metamers or something else?

Yes. They are called metamers.
