Description:

Trimethyl orthoformate is an able bread-and-butter for thallium(III) nitrate-mediated oxidations. It undergoes acid catalyzed acknowledgment with 6-(N-D-ribitylanilino) uracils to anatomy 8-demethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavins. Trimethyl orthoformate was acclimated as dehydrating abettor in the alertness of surface-modified colloidal silica nanoparticles.
