Di-tert-butyl oxalate (CAS 691-64-5)
QUICK LINKS
Di-tert-butyl oxalate is a compound used in synthetic organic chemistry due to its role as a reagent in various organic transformations. Its utility lies in the introduction of the protected oxalate group into organic molecules, which can later undergo decarboxylation or be used as a dienophile in Diels-Alder reactions. Researchers employ di-tert-butyl oxalate to study the kinetics and mechanisms of esterification and transesterification reactions, as its sterically hindered tert-butyl groups provide insight into the effects of steric bulk on reaction rates and outcomes. In addition, the compound is used to generate active carboxylate species under controlled conditions, which is valuable in the study of carboxylation reactions. The tert-butyl groups also render the oxalate ester less prone to hydrolysis, making di-tert-butyl oxalate a stable and versatile reagent for use in a variety of experimental applications.
