a-tert-Butylbenzhydrol

Description:
α-tert-Butylbenzhydrol, with the CAS number 1657-60-9, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a tert-butyl group attached to a benzhydrol moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is known for its role as a chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis and can also serve as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group contributes to its solubility in polar solvents, while the bulky tert-butyl group enhances steric hindrance, influencing its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. α-tert-Butylbenzhydrol is relatively stable under standard conditions but may undergo oxidation or other transformations under specific circumstances. Its applications extend to the fields of pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis, where it is utilized for its unique properties in facilitating the formation of chiral centers. Safety data should be consulted to ensure proper handling, as with any chemical substance.
