tert-Butyl 6-Hydroxyhexanoate is a simple aliphatic tert-butyl ester with a terminal hydroxyl group. This compound presents a useful organic fragment for synthesis, and has been utilized in the synthesis of a phosphorylcholine ester for studies immunological studies on phosphorylcholine-binding immunoglobulins. In chemical synthesis, the tert-butyl group in the compound plays a significant role. It provides steric hindrance, which can protect the ester linkage from hydrolysis and other reactions, making the compound more stable under certain conditions. This stability is advantageous in multi-step synthetic processes, where selective reactivity is needed.
