2-tert-butylcyclobutanone

Description:

2-tert-Butylcyclobutanone is a cyclic ketone characterized by its unique structure, which includes a cyclobutane ring and a tert-butyl group attached to the second carbon of the ring. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow appearance and has a distinctive odor. It is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications. The presence of the ketone functional group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. Additionally, 2-tert-butylcyclobutanone can serve as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its stability under standard conditions and the ability to undergo further chemical transformations make it a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory settings.

CAS: 4579-31-1

2-tert-Butylcyclobutan-1-one is a research chemical that is used to study the regioselectivity and carbonyl reactivity of nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound is synthesized by the reaction of benzannulation with cyclobutanone and stabilizes reactive carbonyl groups, which can be used for mechanistic studies. The mechanism of this reaction has been studied and it has been found that the stabilization of the carbonyl group is due to an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen and the hydroxyl group on C2. 2-tert-Butylcyclobutan-1-one can be used as a biomolecular building block in synthetic organic chemistry.
