Triethyl Orthoformate Overview

Triethyl Orthoformate, a colorless to light yellow organic compound commonly utilized as a formylating chemical, a group-protecting reagent, and an intermediate in pharmaceutical as well as chemical syntheses. It's a triester of orthoformic acid, and is a key component in organic chemistry reactions, specifically when it comes to the creation of ethers, esters, and heterocyclic compounds.

It is frequently utilized in conjunction with sulfur-containing substances like Thiophenol and Thiourea in specific organic synthesis.

Chemical Formula: C7H16O3 or HC(OC2H5)3

The structure: Central carbon atom that is bonded with three groups of ethoxy

Reactivity: Very reactive with acid and water, it is useful in dehydration reactions as well for water removal in chemical processes.
