tert-butyl 4-nitrobenzoate

Advance your organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research with tert-butyl 4-nitrobenzoate (CAS No.: 19756-72-0, CAT No.: SRCB-024), a high-purity tert-butyl ester of 4-nitrobenzoic acid. This compound features a nitro group at the para position on the benzene ring and a tert-butyl ester moiety, making it a valuable intermediate for esterification, reduction, and functionalization studies.

With the molecular formula C₁₁H₁₃NO₄ and a molecular weight of 223.23 g/mol, it is typically supplied as a pale yellow to yellow crystalline solid. tert-butyl 4-nitrobenzoate offers excellent stability, high purity (≥97%), and is soluble in common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. It serves as an intermediate in fine chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical synthesis and is useful for constructing nitroaromatic esters and post-esterification modifications.
