Ethyl orthoformate or triethyl orthoformate is formed by heating with sodium ethoxide with chlroform
Reaction Involved in the process :- For better understanding Refers to the attachment.
Reaction :-
________________________________
C₂H₅ONa + CHCl₃ -----Δ--→ HC(OC₂H₅)3
Sodium ethoxide + Chloroform ----Δ----→ Tri ethyl Orthoformate
________________________________
Explanation ⇒ When sodium ethoxide reacts with Chloroform under certain conditions while heating, it suddenly form Tri ethyl orthoformate. The process of reaction is very sudden.
Hope it Helps :-)
