Vinyl formate is an organic compound with the formula CH2=CHO2CH. It is the ester formally derived from formic acid and vinyl alcohol. Although rare commercially, it occurs naturally.[1][2] It can be prepared by transvinylation, say by treating vinyl versatate with formic acid in the presence of a mercury(II) catalyst..[3]
