tert-Butyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate(CAT: I040357) is an aromatic ester featuring a tert-butyl-protected carboxyl group and two nitro substituents at the 3- and 5-positions of the benzene ring. This compound is widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized benzoic acid derivatives and nitroaromatic compounds. Its tert-butyl ester moiety provides acid-labile protection, making it suitable for applications requiring selective deprotection under mild conditions. The electron-withdrawing nitro groups enhance its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic displacement reactions. It serves as a valuable building block in medicinal chemistry, agrochemical development, and materials science research.
