Triethyl orthoformate (TEOF) is an excellent reagent for converting compatible carboxylic acids to ethyl esters. Such carboxylic acids, refluxed neat in excess TEOF until low-boilers cease evolution, are quantitatively converted to the ethyl esters, without need for extraneous catalysis.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Paine|first=John B.|date=July 2008|title=Esters of Pyromellitic Acid.
