3-Methylbutyl tosylate

Description:
3-Methylbutyl tosylate, with the CAS number 2431-75-6, is an organic compound that serves as a tosylate ester derived from 3-methylbutanol and p-toluenesulfonic acid. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a tosyl group (a sulfonate) attached to a 3-methylbutyl chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the alkyl chain. 3-Methylbutyl tosylate is often utilized in organic synthesis as a reactive intermediate, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, where it can facilitate the introduction of various nucleophiles. Its reactivity is attributed to the leaving ability of the tosylate group, making it a valuable compound in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used.
