Detection of CH_3_COOCH_3_ in Orion
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We report on the discovery of methyl acetate, CH_3_COOCH_3_, through the detection of a large number of rotational lines from each one of the spin states of the molecule: AA species (A_1_ or A_2_), EA species (E_1_), AE species (E_2_), and EE species (E_3_ or E_4_).
Description
We also report, for the first time in space, the detection of the gauche conformer of ethyl formate, CH_3_CH_2_OCOH, in the same source. The trans conformer is also detected for the first time outside the Galactic center source SgrB2.
From the derived velocity of the emission of methyl acetate, we conclude that it arises mainly from the compact ridge region with a total column density of (4.2+/-0.5)x10^15^/cm2. The derived rotational temperature is 150K. The column density for each conformer of ethyl formate, trans and gauche, is (4.5+/-1.0)x10^14^/cm2.

Their abundance ratio indicates a kinetic temperature of 135K for the emitting gas and suggests that gas-phase reactions could participate efficiently in the formation of both conformers in addition to cold ice mantle reactions on the surface of dust grains.
