Product Core Data
tert-Butyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate, CAS 23877-12-5, C8H15BrO2, Mw 223.11, is a colourless to pale-yellow clear liquid. The molecule combines a tert-butoxycarbonyl group with a fully substituted α-bromo centre, delivering high steric hindrance and selective reactivity. These features make the ester a valued protecting reagent and pharmaceutical intermediate.
