1,1-Dimethylethyl (2R)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoate

Description:
1,1-Dimethylethyl (2R)-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoate, also known as tert-butyl 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a tert-butyl group, which contributes to its branched structure, enhancing its steric hindrance and influencing its reactivity and solubility. The presence of a hydroxy group (-OH) indicates that it can participate in hydrogen bonding, which may affect its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility in polar solvents. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is used in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in organic synthesis. The stereochemistry of the molecule is significant, as the (2R) configuration denotes the specific spatial arrangement of atoms around the chiral center, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
