2-Chloro-2-methylpropane

Description:
2-Chloro-2-methylpropane, also known as tert-butyl chloride, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H9Cl. It is characterized by a central carbon atom bonded to three methyl groups and one chlorine atom, making it a tertiary alkyl halide. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a distinctive odor and is known for its low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents. 2-Chloro-2-methylpropane is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of tert-butyl alcohol and as a reagent in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. It is relatively stable under normal conditions but can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of tert-butyl alcohol. Due to its chlorine content, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be hazardous and poses environmental concerns. Proper safety measures should be taken to avoid inhalation or skin contact, and it should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
