Sodium tert-butoxide is a strong, non-nucleophilic base widely used in organic synthesis. Produced via the reaction of sodium metal with tert-butyl alcohol, its molecular formula is C4H9NaO (CAS: 865-49-2). This reagent facilitates key elimination and deprotonation reactions.
Strictly store under inert atmosphere to prevent hydrolysis. Use appropriate PPE due to severe corrosivity and fire hazard upon contact with moisture or acids.
