tert-butyl (2-chloroethoxy)acetate

Description:

Tert-butyl (2-chloroethoxy)acetate, with the CAS number 73834-55-6, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a tert-butyl group, which is a branched alkyl group known for its steric hindrance, contributing to the compound's stability and reactivity. The presence of the 2-chloroethoxy moiety introduces a chlorine atom, which can influence the compound's reactivity and solubility in various solvents. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and dichloromethane but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl group. Tert-butyl (2-chloroethoxy)acetate is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving nucleophilic substitutions or as a protecting group in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.
