Description

Triethyl borate is an inorganic acid that is used as a catalyst. It has been shown to react with hydrochloric acid and orthoboric acid to form hydrogen boron hydride (H3BO3) and water. It also reacts with hydrogen chloride, forming hydrogen boron chloride, which can be used to prepare the active form of boric acid. This reaction is reversible and the equilibrium can be shifted by adding a base such as sodium hydroxide or ammonia. Triethyl borate is reactive, so it should only be handled in well-ventilated areas. The structural analysis of this compound reveals that it contains two hydroxyl groups that are involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which helps stabilize its structure. Triethyl borate has been shown to have anti-infectious properties, inhibiting the growth of infectious bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
