tert-Butyl 2-bromobutyrate

Description:
Tert-Butyl 2-bromobutyrate is an organic compound classified as an ester, specifically an alkyl bromide derivative of butyric acid. It features a tert-butyl group, which contributes to its branched structure, enhancing its steric hindrance and influencing its reactivity. The compound is characterized by the presence of a bromine atom at the second carbon of the butyric acid chain, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Tert-Butyl 2-bromobutyrate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform, but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. Its reactivity profile makes it useful in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds and in various coupling reactions. Safety considerations include handling it in a well-ventilated area and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
