Description

Triethyl orthoacetate is a reactive chemical that can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical preparations. It is an organic compound with the formula CH3COCH2CH2OCOR, which contains a hydroxyl group and an orthoacetate. The reaction mechanism of triethyl orthoacetate starts by adding a nucleophile to the triple bond on the carbon atom adjacent to the acetate group (C-1). This forms a dinucleotide phosphate at C-1, which is then attacked by the other nucleophile. The resulting molecule is called an acetic acid derivative, which has the general structure RCOOH, where R is any organic substituent. Triethyl orthoacetate reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium acetate and trimethyl orthoformate. Triethyl orthoacetate can also be used as a reactive intermediate in asymmetric synthesis for preparing chiral compounds.
Triethyl orthoacetate has been shown to inhibit HIV
