N-(TERT-BUTOXYCARBONYL)-2-ETHYLANILINE

Description:

N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-2-ethylaniline, with the CAS number 110969-45-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group attached to the amino group of 2-ethylaniline. This compound typically appears as a solid or viscous liquid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl groups. The Boc group serves as a protective moiety in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of amines, allowing for selective reactions without affecting the amine functionality. The compound is often utilized in pharmaceutical and chemical research for the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its stability under various conditions makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
