Description
Triethyl orthobenzoate is an orthoester of benzoic acid offered at a minimum purity of 95 %, with CAS number 1663-61-2 and the empirical formula C₁₃H₂₀O₃. The compound has a molar mass of 224,3 g/mol, a density of 0,991 g/cm³ and a flash point of 97 °C, giving a clear physicochemical profile for synthetic planning. Orthoesters of this type serve as versatile building blocks and protecting-group reagents in organic synthesis, enabling controlled introduction of benzoyl-related functionality under mild conditions. Chemists working on fine chemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates or specialty materials can rely on the stated purity grade and well-documented physical data for reproducible reaction design. The liquid character implied by the density value supports straightforward volumetric dosing in anhydrous or inert-atmosphere setups. Consistent CAS and formula identification simplifies inventory control, safety documentation and cross-referencing with literature procedures.

Questions about Triethyl orthobenzoate, min. 95 %, 100 g
What is this article?
Triethyl orthobenzoate, min. 95 %, 100 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
