Tert-Butyl carbamate（Cat No.:R027745）, with the molecular formula C5H11NO2, is an organic compound consisting of a carbamate group (-NHCOO-) attached to a tert-butyl group (C4H9). It is a colorless liquid or crystalline solid, primarily used as a protecting group for amines in organic synthesis. The bulky tert-butyl group shields the amine from unwanted reactions, making it useful in the preparation of complex molecules, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Tert-Butyl carbamate is also employed in the synthesis of peptides, natural products, and in reactions requiring selective deprotection of amine functionalities.
