[0002] With the continuous development of the modern chemical industry, the application of various pharmaceutical raw materials and intermediates such as ethyl acetate, ethanol, and piperazine has become more and more common. Ethyl acetate, also known as ethyl acetate, is a widely used ester that is miscible with ethanol. Because of its excellent solubility and quick drying properties, it is often used as an important organic chemical raw material and industrial solvent. Ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, is a flammable, volatile, low-toxic, colorless, transparent liquid at room temperature and pressure. Ethanol can dissolve a variety of organic and inorganic substances and is a widely used solvent. Piperazine, also known as p-diazepine, is soluble in water, ethanol and other solvents. Piperazine is not only an important pharmaceutical intermediate, but also widely used in pesticides, dyes, preservatives, antioxidants, surfactants and other fields.
