tertbutyylinen
tert-butyylinen refers to a tert-butyl group, which is a tertiary alkyl group with the structure -(C(CH3)3). It is derived from tert-butane by removing one hydrogen atom. The tert-butyl group is known for its bulky nature and its steric hindrance. This bulkiness can significantly influence the reactivity and physical properties of molecules in which it is incorporated. For example, it can shield reactive sites, affecting reaction pathways and rates.
In organic chemistry, the tert-butyl group is often used as a protecting group for alcohols, amines, and
The presence of a tert-butyl group can also impact the solubility and melting points of organic compounds.
