Description

Tert-butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate is a chiral, multigram synthetic intermediate that is used in the synthesis of phosphite. The magnesium salt of tert-butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate can be prepared by reacting the corresponding alcohol with magnesium and then hydrolyzing the ester. The cyclopropane ring can be opened using various methods, including acid catalysis or photochemical cleavage. Tert-butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate is resistant to oxidation and therefore can be used as a synthetic intermediate for many different chemical reactions.
