Product Description:

Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)azodicarboxylate, commonly known as Di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (DBAD), is a diazene derivative with the molecular formula C10H18N2O4. It is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, primarily utilized as an oxidizing agent in the Mitsunobu reaction, where it facilitates the conversion of alcohols into various functional groups such as esters, ethers, and thioethers under mild conditions. DBAD is also employed in the synthesis of hydrazine derivatives and as a building block for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Its tert-butyl groups provide steric bulk, enhancing selectivity in certain transformations. The compound is typically a yellow to orange crystalline solid, sensitive to light and moisture, and should be stored under inert atmosphere. It is widely used in pharmaceutical research and fine chemical synthesis due to its efficiency and compatibility with diverse substrates.
