tBuX
tBuX refers to a class of organic compounds where a tert-butyl group (tBu) is bonded to a halogen atom (X). The halogen atom can be fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), or iodine (I). Therefore, tBuX encompasses tert-butyl fluoride (tBuF), tert-butyl chloride (tBuCl), tert-butyl bromide (tBuBr), and tert-butyl iodide (tBuI).
These compounds are tertiary alkyl halides, characterized by the tert-butyl group, which is a bulky alkyl group
Tert-butyl halides are often used as reagents in organic synthesis. For example, tert-butyl chloride is a common
The synthesis of tBuX compounds can be achieved through various methods, often involving the reaction of tert-butyl
