Description:Triethyl borate, with the CAS number 150-46-9, is an organoboron compound characterized by its colorless, flammable liquid form. It has a distinctive fruity odor and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but is insoluble in water. Triethyl borate is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of boron-containing compounds and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. It can also serve as a precursor for the production of boron oxide and boron nitride. The compound is known for its ability to form stable complexes with various Lewis bases, making it useful in coordination chemistry. However, it is important to handle triethyl borate with care, as it can be hazardous; it poses risks such as flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance.
