tert-butyl (2-methylphenyl)carbamate

Description:
Tert-butyl (2-methylphenyl)carbamate is an organic compound characterized by its carbamate functional group, which is derived from the reaction of a carbamic acid with an alcohol. This compound features a tert-butyl group, providing steric hindrance, and a 2-methylphenyl group, which contributes to its aromatic characteristics. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ethanol, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic tert-butyl and aromatic components. The compound is often used in organic synthesis and as a protecting group for amines in various chemical reactions. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the aromatic ring, which can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Overall, tert-butyl (2-methylphenyl)carbamate is a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry.
