Tert-butyl 6-bromohexanoate（Cat No.:L010860）is an organic compound featuring a six-carbon linear ester chain with a bromine atom at the terminal (6-position) and a tert-butyl ester protecting group. It is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of functionalized polymers, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals. The tert-butyl group provides stability under mild acidic and basic conditions, making it ideal for multistep synthesis where selective deprotection is needed. The terminal bromo group enables nucleophilic substitution reactions, allowing for the introduction of a variety of functional groups.
