Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is a compound appearing as a colorless, transparent liquid. It is soluble in alcohols, ethers, and benzene, but insoluble in water. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is typically produced by reacting tert-butanol with carbon dioxide. While it is relatively safe, precautions should be taken during use to avoid skin and eye contact, prevent inhalation of its vapors, and ensure operation in well-ventilated areas. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from fire sources and oxidizing agents. Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate is commonly used in the following fields:
1. As a Solvent: Its excellent solubility makes it suitable for dissolving certain compounds, finding widespread application in chemical engineering and laboratories.
2. Chemical Synthesis: It serves in organic synthesis reactions, such as the production of polymers and other organic compounds.
3. Preparation of Coatings and Resins: Within the coatings industry, di-tert-butyl dicarbonate functions as a component in resins and coatings.
