Product Information

• Name: tert-Butyl nitrite
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tert-butyl nitrite is a compound that has been synthesized in two different ways: by the reaction of azides and tert-butyl nitrate or by the reaction of quinoline derivatives with tert-butyl nitrite. Tert-Butyl nitrite has many uses, including as a reagent for the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is used to produce nitro groups in organic chemistry, which are useful for transfer reactions to amines. Quaternary ammonium salts and tertiary amines can be made from tert-butyl nitrite. This chemical also reacts with amines to form hydrazones, which are useful for control experiments involving vibrational spectroscopy. Tert-Butyl nitrite also reacts with solid phase synthesis resin to produce a range of organic nitrates.
