CAS 762-75-4: tert-Butyl formate
Description:Tert-butyl formate is an ester with the chemical formula C5H10O2, characterized by its formation from tert-butyl alcohol and formic acid. It is a colorless liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor, making it useful in flavoring and fragrance applications. The substance has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. Tert-butyl formate is known for its stability under normal conditions but can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of tert-butyl alcohol and formic acid. It is often utilized as a solvent in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions, including esterification and acylation processes. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Overall, tert-butyl formate is a versatile compound in organic chemistry with applications in both industrial and laboratory settings.
