It is widely used in the preparation of fine chemical products such as medicines, pesticides, and dyes. It helps the synthesis of many important organic compounds, which is of great significance to the development of the chemical industry.

What is the production method of Trimethyl Orthoformate?

Trimethyl acetal, or trimethyl orthoformate, is prepared by ancient methods and modern methods.
Ancient production methods mostly used orthoformic acid and methanol as raw materials to combine the two under specific conditions. Although orthoformic acid is difficult to find, it was an important route when the chemical process was not complete in the past. At that time, fine temperature and pressure control were required to make the reaction proceed smoothly, and the containers and instruments used also needed to meet the reaction requirements to prevent impurities from mixing and affecting the purity of the product.
As for the current production method, chloroform and sodium methoxide are commonly used as starting materials. Chloroform reacts with sodium methoxide in a suitable solvent. This reaction condition is easier to control, and the yield and purity of the product are significantly improved. At the beginning of the reaction, chloroform is slowly dropped into the solution containing sodium methoxide, and the temperature and reaction process are closely monitored. Sodium methoxide plays a key role in the reaction, and its alkalinity prompts chloroform to undergo a specific substitution reaction to gradually generate trimethylal. After the reaction is completed, pure trimethylal can be obtained through multiple purification processes such as distillation and extraction.
Another method is to use methyl formate and methanol as raw materials. Under the action of catalysts, the condensation reaction of the two occurs. The choice of this catalyst is quite important, and different catalysts have a significant impact on the reaction rate and product selectivity. During the reaction process, it is necessary to precisely adjust the temperature, pressure and raw material ratio to achieve the best reaction effect. Follow-up steps such as separation and purification are also required to remove unreacted raw materials and by-products to obtain high-quality tri-methylal.
