Zinc tert-butoxide is a catalyst employed in organic synthesis. It finds utility in various reactions, including esterification, transesterification, and aldol condensation. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable Lewis acid catalyst in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and in the polymerization of lactides and cyclic ethers. In addition, Zinc tert-butoxide has been instrumental in the synthesis of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and is used as a precursor for the production of zinc oxide nanoparticles.
