tert-Butyl ether

Description:

Tert-butyl ether, also known as t-butyl ether or tert-butyl methyl ether (TBME), is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O. It is characterized by its clear, colorless liquid form and has a distinctive, mild odor. Tert-butyl ether is highly soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water. It is primarily used as a solvent in various chemical reactions and as a fuel additive due to its ability to enhance octane ratings. The compound has a relatively low boiling point and a moderate flash point, indicating that it can be flammable under certain conditions. Tert-butyl ether is stable under normal conditions but can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use. Overall, tert-butyl ether is valued in both industrial and laboratory settings for its solvent properties and utility in organic synthesis.

Di-tert-butylether

CAS: 6163-66-2

Di-tert-butylether (DTBE) is a solvent that is used in analytical methods to extract organic compounds. DTBE has been shown to inhibit the activities of various enzymes, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which are important for DNA replication, and other enzymes involved in protein synthesis. DTBE also inhibits the activity of human serum albumin by binding with the hydroxyl groups on the protein. It is thought that the enzyme inhibitor binds to a specific site on the enzyme and blocks access to this site by substrates or cofactors, thereby preventing catalysis. DTBE has been shown to have toxic effects on wild-type strains of Escherichia coli, but not on mutant strains. This suggests that it may be possible to develop drugs that are resistant to DTBE toxicity by making changes at a single locus in the bacterial genome.
