Description

4-tert-Butylbenzyl bromide is a chemical reagent that is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is a hydrated, hydrogen sulfate salt that can be prepared by reacting trifluoroacetic acid with benzyl alcohol. 4-tert-Butylbenzyl bromide can also be synthesized by treating 4-bromobenzaldehyde with potassium hydroxide and water in an autoclave. It reacts as a nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic carbon atom of an ethoxylate to form a butyric acid ester. This reaction mechanism has been confirmed by both gravimetric analysis and structural analysis of the product. Hydrogen bonding between molecules may play an important role in this reaction, as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the aromatic ring and the alkyl chain. The reaction rate is dependent on temperature and pressure, which are controlled through distillation or vacuum distillation
