Application

Triethyl orthoformate may be used to synthesize:
  • Formyl ferrocene by reacting with ferrocene in the presence of aluminium chloride.
  • 5-Nitropyridines via cyclocondensation with nitroacetone and different enamines.
  • 3-Aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones by reacting with anthranilic acid via heterocyclization catalyzed by concentrated sulfuric acid.
