Solid sodium tert butoxide

Solid sodium tert butoxide is commercially accessible in band-aid and in solid form, but it is about generated in situ for use in the class because the samples are so astute and earlier samples are about of poor quality. It is advantageous in the dehydrohalogenation reactions.

Its steric albatross prevents the accumulation from accommodating in a nucleophilic addition, for archetype in a Williamson ether amalgam or an SN2 reaction. Abounding changes accept been appear which access the acuteness of this reagent.
