Tetrabutylurea

Description:
Tetrabutylurea (TBU) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₁₄H₃₀N₂O and is classified as a urea derivative. It is characterized by its four butyl groups attached to a central urea moiety, which contributes to its solubility properties. Tetrabutylurea is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a relatively low viscosity. It is known for its ability to act as a polar aprotic solvent, making it useful in various chemical reactions and processes, particularly in organic synthesis and extraction. TBU exhibits good thermal stability and is soluble in a range of organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic butyl groups. Additionally, it has applications in the field of polymer chemistry and as a reagent in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes. Overall, tetrabutylurea is valued for its unique properties that facilitate various chemical applications.
