Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (CAS: 24424-99-5) is a versatile reagent widely used in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C10H18O4. This compound serves as a primary source of the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group, essential for protecting amino functionalities during peptide construction and complex molecule synthesis.
Store under inert atmosphere at low temperatures to prevent decomposition. Strict safety protocols are required due to potential respiratory irritation and moisture sensitivity; personal protective equipment must be worn during handling.
