Chemical Description
Triethyl orthoformate is used as a reactant in the synthesis of N,N′-diphenylimidazolinium Tetrafluoroborate.
Chemical Properties
Colorless liquid; pungent odor. Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol,
ether; decomposes in water.
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 122-51-0 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Labelled Prednisolone 21-Sulfate (P703755). Prednisolone 21-Sulfate is a metabolite of Prednisolone (P703740).
2. A reagent useful for acetylization and imidic ester formation.
3. Triethyl orthoformate is used in Bodroux-Chichibabin aldehyde synthesis to prepare an aldehyde with one carbon higher by reacting with Grignard reagent. It is also used in the electrophilic formylation of activated aromatic species such as phenol.
General Description
A clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 86°F. Vapors heavier than air. May irritate skin and eyes. Used to make other chemicals.
Reactivity Profile
Triethyl orthoformate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
Hazard
Flammable, moderate fire risk.
Health Hazard
May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.
Flammability and Explosibility
Flammable
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Mddly toxic by inhalation, skin
contact, and subcutaneous routes. A skin
and eye irritant. A very dangerous fire
hazard when exposed to heat or flame; can
react vigorously with oxidzing materials. To
fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical.
When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also
ESTERS.
Purification Methods
Fractionate it first at atmospheric pressure, then in a vacuum. If impure, then shake it with aqueous 2% NaOH, dry it with solid KOH and distil it from sodium through a 20cm Vigreux column (p 11). Alternatively, wash it with H2O, dry it over anhydrous K2CO3, filter and fractionate it through a Widmer column (p 11).

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 122-51-0 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,2 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 122-51:
(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*2)+(2*5)+(1*1)=30
30 % 10 = 0
So 122-51-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Paragraph 0022-0028, (2017/12/04)
The invention provides a simple and convenient method for producing high-purity ortho-formate by using acrylonitrile byproduct hydrocyanic acid. The method comprises the following steps: firstly producing amine salt from the acrylonitrile byproduct hydrocyanic acid, fatty alcohol and hydrogen chloride, subsequently performing alcoholysis reaction on the presence of corresponding fatty alcohol so as to obtain an ortho-formate reaction liquid, adding a proper amount of an alkali substance in the generated ortho-formate reaction liquid, decomposing nitrogenous impurity compounds such as byproduct 1,3,5-s-triazine at certain temperature, wherein the decomposed product is nitrogen and solid formate with low boiling point, performing aftertreatment on the reaction liquid so as to obtain the high-purity ortho-formate through normal distillation. Therefore, the purpose of producing the high-purity ortho-formate with high yield is achieved.
Orthoester exchange: A tripodal tool for dynamic covalent and systems chemistry
Brachvogel, Ren-Chris,Von Delius, Max
, p. 1399 - 1403 (2015/02/05)
Reversible covalent reactions have become an important tool in supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Here we introduce the acid-catalyzed exchange of O,O,O-orthoesters to the toolbox of dynamic covalent chemistry. We demonstrate that orthoesters readily exchange with a wide range of alcohols under mild conditions and we disclose the first report of an orthoester metathesis reaction. We also show that dynamic orthoester systems give rise to pronounced metal template effects, which can best be understood by agonistic relationships in a three-dimensional network analysis. Due to the tripodal architecture of orthoesters, the exchange process described herein could find unique applications in dynamic polymers, porous materials and host-guest architectures.
