Triethyl orthoformate is pungent liquid with not high melting point and boiling point, miscible with ethanol, ethyl ether, slightly soluble in water, mainly used as raw material for preparation of chloroquine, piperaquine and photographic chemicals, photographic materials, but also for the synthesis of methine cyanine dyes and etc..

How to make Triethyl orthoformate

As a key Triethyl orthoformate suppliers, we have three ways of production methods listed as follows:

- By sodium ethyate: sodium acetate were used as raw materials to react at 60-65 DEG C to produce the crude Triethyl orthoformate, and then get fine Triethyl orthoformate after distillation.

- By ethanol: Sodium ethyate was replaced by ethanol and sodium hydroxide, and supported by solid liquid phase transfer catalysis. The catalyst was PTC.
- By benzoyl chloride: by using benzoyl chloride, formamide and anhydrous ethanol as raw material, under the action of catalyst, generating Triethyl orthoformate.

Where to use Triethyl orthoformate

- Used for preparation of antimalarial chloroquine piperaquine and photographic agent photosensitive material of raw material, also used in synthesis of cyanine dyes methenyl and flowers

- Used in organic synthesis

- Triethyl orthoformate is acaricide amitraz and herbicides Derby its sulfone lung intermediates, also can be used for system antimalarial drug piperaquine chloroquine, etc

- Pharmaceutical raw materials, is the antimalarial drugs piperaquine chloroquine and the synthetic raw material also for making polymer photographic drug sensitive material anti halo dye cyanine dyes and synthetic pesticide, etc
