tert-butyl N-(1-chloropropan-2-yl)carbamate

tert-butyl N-(1-chloropropan-2-yl)carbamate, identified by CAS 1520753-28-9, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H16ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 193.67 g/mol. It features a tert-butyl carbamate protecting group on a nitrogen atom, which is attached to a 1-chloropropan-2-yl moiety. This structure makes it a versatile functionalized intermediate, particularly useful in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules where the carbamate can be deprotected to reveal an amine, and the chlorine atom can serve as a leaving group for further functionalization. Its role as a building block is central to its application in various synthetic routes within research and development.

• Handle tert-butyl N-(1-chloropropan-2-yl)carbamate in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat, to prevent skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of dust or vapors. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information before use.
