Product Overview
tert-Butyl acetate is a high-purity, low-boiling ester solvent widely used in laboratory applications requiring rapid evaporation and minimal residue. With a purity of 99%+, this reagent-grade solvent offers excellent solvency power for organic compounds, making it a preferred choice for chromatography, extractions, and synthetic reactions. Its low surface tension and volatility ensure efficient sample preparation without thermal degradation. The solvent is compatible with most organic solvents and can be used as a substitute for ethyl acetate in applications where a higher boiling point is undesirable. Its stability under standard lab conditions and resistance to hydrolysis make it suitable for long-term storage without significant degradation. The clear, colorless liquid is free from stabilizers, ensuring consistent performance in analytical and preparative workflows. Whether used as a reaction medium or for purification steps, tert-butyl acetate delivers reliable results with minimal interference in downstream processes.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of tert-butyl acetate?
The boiling point of tert-butyl acetate is approximately 98°C, making it a moderately volatile solvent.
