Orthoacetic acid or ethane-1,1,1-triol is an hypothetical organic compound with formula C
2H
6O
3 or H3C-C(OH)3. It would be an ortho acid with the ethane backbone.

Orthoacetic acid is believed to be impossible to isolate, since it would readily decompose into acetic acid and water. It may have a fleeting existence in aqueous solutions of acetic acid.
