Introduction trimethyl orthoformate is used as a protecting group for aldehydes in organic synthesis and as an additive in polyurethane coatings, it is used as a dehydrating agent in the preparation of surface-modified colloidal silica nanoparticles. It is also used as a chemical intermediate for the preparation of vitamin B1 and sulfonamides. It can be used as an effective solvent for thallium (III) nitrate-mediated oxidation.
synthesis method trimethyl orthoformate is prepared on an industrial scale by methanolysis of hydrogen cyanide: HCN 3 HOCH3 → HC(OCH3)3 NH3 trimethyl orthoformate can also be prepared from the reaction between chloroform and sodium methoxide.
Use in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of vitamin B1, vitamin A, sulfadiazine, pipemidic acid and antibacterial agents, among them, the consumption of vitamin B1 accounted for the largest proportion of methyl formate. It is also used in the dye and fragrance industry. In the aspect of coating, it is used as a dehydrating agent to prevent hardening of polyurethane or epoxy coating due to hydration.
It is used as an intermediate in the production of vitamin B1, sulfonamides, antibiotics and other drugs, and is a raw material for spices and pesticides and an additive for polyurethane coatings.
Organic synthesis intermediates. Medicine is mainly used for the synthesis of vitamin B1, sulfonamides, antibiotics, etc.; Coating for the Prevention of polyurethane or epoxy coating due to hydration and hardening of the dehydrating agent; can also be used in the synthesis of perfume
trimethyl orthoformate is an important intermediate in organic synthesis. Pesticides are mainly used in the synthesis of azoxystrobin, dimethyl ether and other pesticide intermediates. Medicine is mainly used for the synthesis of pipemidic acid, norfloxacin and other pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also widely used in coatings, dyes, spices and other industries.
production method is obtained by the reaction of chloroform and methanol in the presence of caustic soda (or chloroform and sodium methoxide).
