Introduction | triethyl orthoformate is colorless liquid with pungent odor. Miscible with ethanol and ether. Slightly soluble in water, but will decompose in water. It is a very important chemical raw materials, has been widely used in medicine, pesticides, dyes and other industries. |
Application | triethyl orthoformate in medicine, widely used in the synthesis of chloroquine, quinquine, dichloroquinoline, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, flupilinic acid, aminopyrimidine, and the like. In the aspect of pesticide, it is widely used in the production of azoxystrobin, pyridoxine, pyrisulfuron-methyl, chlorpyrisulfuron, tetrazolsulfuron-methyl, bicusponil and Amitraz, etc. Triethyl orthoformate is also an intermediate for acrylic fibers and methine dyes and is used in the synthesis of cyanine dyes. Triethyl orthoformate can also be used as some development sensitive agents, and is widely used as an anti-halation material in photographic drugs and color film and other photosensitive materials. |
Use | triethyl orthoformate is an intermediate of the acaricide amitraz and the herbicide pyrisulfuron-methyl, and can also be used in the preparation of antimalarial drugs chloroquine, drugs such as quinquine. used as raw materials for the preparation of antimalarial drugs chloroquine, quinquine and photographic agents, photosensitive materials, also used in the synthesis of methaquine and cyanine dyes used in organic synthesis used as pharmaceutical raw materials, is the antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine and quinpa synthesis raw materials, also used in the preparation of high polymer, photographic drugs, photosensitive materials, anti-Halo dyes, cyanine dyes and synthetic pesticides. |
production method | the preparation method is to add chloroform into the reaction kettle, stir and heat to 55 ℃, sodium ethoxide ethanol solution was added dropwise, and the reaction temperature was controlled at 60~65 ℃. After addition, the temperature was gradually increased to 70 ℃, and the temperature was maintained for 1H. At the end of the reaction, the pH was <8, and sodium chloride was filtered off, the filtrate was fractionated to obtain a crude product, which was then subjected to rectification to obtain a finished product. 3C2H5ONa CHCl3 → CH(OC2H5)3 3NaCl 1. Sodium ethoxide method with sodium ethoxide and chloroform as raw materials, reaction at 60-65 ℃ to produce crude triethyl orthoformate, and then refined by fractionation to get the finished product. Ethanol method sodium ethoxide was replaced by ethanol and sodium hydroxide. PTC was used as catalyst by solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis. Benzoyl chloride method with benzoyl chloride, formamide and anhydrous ethanol as raw materials, under the action of Catalyst, the formation of triethyl orthoformate, benzoic acid and ammonium chloride mixture, the separation of the product of triethyl orthoformate and benzoic acid. |
