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]
