tert-Butyl N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-methylcarbamate

tert-Butyl N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-methylcarbamate, identified by CAS 220074-38-4, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H16ClNO2. This functionalized carbamate features a tert-butyl protecting group on the nitrogen, along with a methyl group and a 2-chloroethyl moiety. Its structure makes it a valuable intermediate in synthetic chemistry, particularly for the introduction of protected N-methyl-2-chloroethylamine fragments into more complex molecules. The chloroethyl group offers a reactive site for further derivatization, while the Boc group provides temporary protection for the nitrogen, allowing for selective reactions in multi-step syntheses. It is intended for Research Use Only (RUO).

• Handle tert-Butyl N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-methylcarbamate 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. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information before use.
