Tert-butyl 4-aminophenethylcarbamate(CAS: 94838-59-2)

Tert-butyl 4-aminophenethylcarbamate is a crystalline compound with a molecular weight of approximately 268.38 g/mol. It has a solubility of about 8.5 g per 100 mL in water. Chemically, it is relatively stable but can react with strong acids and bases. It shows basic properties due to the amine group.

Tert-butyl 4-aminophenethylcarbamate can be synthesized via a multi-step process involving the coupling of tert-butyl phenylethyl carbonate with an amine. Commonly, this synthesis involves the use of a catalytic amount of a base like triethylamine and a solvent such as dichloromethane.

Tert-butyl 4-aminophenethylcarbamate is used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs. It is also employed in the polymer industry for the modification of polymers, and in the field of sensors for its reactivity with specific analytes.

When handling Tert-butyl 4-aminophenethylcarbamate, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat is necessary. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and flammable materials. In case of a spill, it should be managed according to the manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines.
