Triethyl Orthoformate is a critical C1 building block synthesized via the reaction of ethanol with hydrogen cyanide followed by hydrolysis. Its molecular formula is C5H12O3 (CAS: 122-50-5), serving as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis.
Strictly store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE due to corrosive nature; avoid contact with skin and eyes. Hydrolyzes rapidly in moisture to release toxic formaldehyde and ethanol vapors.
