Trimethoxymethane NEW

Trimethyl orthoformate is an effective solvent for thallium(III) nitrate-mediated oxidations. It undergoes acid catalyzed reaction with 6-(N-D-ribitylanilino) uracils to form 8-demethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavins.

Trimethyl Orthoformate is the most simple orthoester. Used in organic synthesis as a reagent for introducing a protecting group for aldehydes and in the creation of methoxymethylene groups and heterocyclic ring systems. Trimethyl orthoformate is used as a protecting group for aldehydes in organic synthesis, as an additive in polyurethane coatings and as a dehydrating agent in the preparation of surface modified colloidal silica nanoparticles. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the preparation of vitamin B1 and sulfa drugs. It acts as an effective solvent for thallium(III) nitrate-mediated oxidations. Furthermore. It is utilized for the synthesis of chromone from keto-hydroxy naphthol in the presence of trimethylamine.
