General description

Triethylorthoformate is an organic compound that is soluble in most organic solvents. It is commonly used as a solvent for thallium trinitrate oxidation reactions.

Application

Triethyl orthoformate can be used as a:
  • Precursor for the controlled release of ethylformate(EF) vapor.
  • Solvent in the experimental determination of the solubility of ε-CL-20 at different temperatures (ranging from 278.15 to 318.15K) and a constant pressure of 0.1 MPa.
