4-(tert-Butyl)phenylacetylene is a useful research chemical.
Clear pale yellowish-brown liquid
4-
tert-Butylphenylacetylene can be used in the synthesis of the following:
- 1,6-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)hexa-1,5-diyne-3,4-dione
- 4,4′,5,5′-tetra(4-tert-butylphenylethynyl)dibenzo-24-crown-8-ether via Sonogashira coupling reaction with 4,4′,5,5′-tetraiododibenzo-24-crown-8-ether
- 1-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-2-(4-tert-butyldimethylsiloxyphenyl)acetylene via palladium catalyzed coupling with 4-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)iodobenzene
4-tert-Butylphenylacetylene is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff.
4-tert-Butylphenylacetylene can be synthesized from 4-tert-butylstyrene.
