Tert-butyl 15-bromopentadecanoate(CAS: 905302-64-9)

Tert-butyl 15-bromopentadecanoate is a chemical compound with a CAS number of 905302-64-9. It is an ester with a tert-butyl group and a 15-bromopentadecanoic acid moiety. This compound is typically colorless and has a molecular weight of approximately 336.3 g/mol. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.

Tert-butyl 15-bromopentadecanoate is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of drugs. It is also used in the research and development of new materials and in chemical research due to its unique functional groups.

Tert-butyl 15-bromopentadecanoate is generally considered safe when handled properly. However, it is important to follow all safety guidelines, including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. Handling in well-ventilated areas is recommended to avoid inhalation of vapors. Exposure to moisture or heat should be avoided to prevent decomposition or other hazardous reactions.

Tert-butyl 15-bromopentadecanoate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat. It should be kept in a well-ventilated area and in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. The storage temperature should not exceed 25°C, and the relative humidity should be controlled to prevent condensation inside the storage container.
