Tetramethyl orthocarbonate

Description:

Tetramethyl orthocarbonate, with the CAS number 1850-14-2, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a central carbon atom bonded to four methoxy groups (–OCH3). This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and is known for its low viscosity and volatility. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in various organic solvents, making it useful in chemical synthesis and as a reagent. Tetramethyl orthocarbonate is primarily utilized in organic chemistry as a methylating agent, particularly in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is also employed in the preparation of certain polymers and as a protective group in organic synthesis. While it is generally considered to have low toxicity, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it, as with any chemical substance. Its reactivity and ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions make it a valuable tool in synthetic organic chemistry.
