Tert-butyl (2-bromopropyl)carbamate

Tert-butyl (2-bromopropyl)carbamate, with CAS 121102-88-3 and molecular formula C8H16BrNO2, is a key functionalized intermediate in synthetic chemistry. It features a tert-butyl carbamate (Boc) protecting group on an amine, alongside a bromine atom on the propyl chain. This bifunctional nature makes it highly valuable for various synthetic transformations, including nucleophilic substitution reactions to introduce new functionalities, or as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its Boc group provides amine protection, which can be selectively removed under acidic conditions, allowing for controlled reactivity in multi-step syntheses. This compound is intended for research use only.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information before use.
