Orthocarbonic acid is a hypothetical organic chemical compound with the empirical formula C (OH) 4 . Formally, the compound is a tetravalent alcohol which , according to Erlenmeyer's rule, is unstable. So far it has not been possible to produce orthocarbonic acid under terrestrial conditions.
Orthocarbonic acid could, however, occur in the core of gas planets and their moons, where the pressures are much higher than those on earth. Even if the substance is unstable in its free form, orthocarbonic acid esters are known.
