Description : Tert-Butyl Nitrite 540-80-7, It is a volatile, flammable, colorless to pale yellow liquid organic compound used as a reagent in organic synthesis for nitration, oxidation, and generating nitrogen radicals. Also known as an alkyl nitrite, it serves as a source of nitric oxide (NO), participating in reactions like diazotation and radical functionalization of alkenes. Its properties include a sweet odor, good solubility in organic solvents, and limited solubility in water, but it requires careful handling due to flammability and potential release of toxic nitrogen dioxide upon decomposition.
