There is NO such compound like 'Ethyl Methyl Ester' as written in the original question.

Probably it might not have been the misspelled name ester, but rather an ether instead.

The compound then could be:

Methoxyethane, (CH3-O-C2H5)

also known as methyl ethyl ether, it is a colorless gas with a medicine-like odor.

It is extremely flammable and its inhalation may causeasphyxiation or dizzyness.

Nearest to the questioned LD50: Only this figure for analogous Di-Ethyl Ether

(C2H5-O-C2H5) ethoxyethane could be found:

Oral-LDlowest to man: 260 mg.kg-1(BodyWeight)

[cited from: see related links]

Other, but incomplete data on Ethyl methyl ether: gaseous above 7oC !!

LC50 on inhalation : 1082gm/m3/15M (or 1082000mg/m3),

BEHAVIORAL: GENERAL ANESTHETIC, lit.cit. Anesthesiology(Vol. 11, p.455) 1950

Has anesthetic properties. A very dangerous fire and moderate explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame.

What is the name of CH2CHCH2CH2CH3?

In this molecule you have 2 different carbon chains separated by the functional ether group. The generic formula for an ether is R-O-R. Your first group is a 2 carbon chain called an ethyl and your second group is a 1 carbon called a methyl. So you have a methyl group and ethyl group which must be put together in in alphabetical order ethyl-methyl and then followed by the functional group -ether. Thus your final molecule name is ethyl-methyl-ether. Good luck with the rest of O. Chem!
