It is a substituted derivative of the heterocycle pyrimidine. Known also as TTBP, this compound is of interest as a base that is sufficiently bulky to not bind boron trifluoride but still able to bind protons. It is less expensive that the related bulky derivatives of pyridine such as 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylpyridine, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine.10.1055/s-2001-10798 2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylpyrimidine (TTBP): A Cost Effective, Readily Available Alternative to the Hindered Base 2,6-Di-tert-butylpyridine and its 4-Substituted Derivatives in Glycosylation and Other Reactions 2001 Crich David Smith Mark Yao Qingjia Picione John Synthesis 2001 2 0323–0326 196775791 References Category:Pyrimidines Category:Reagents for organic chemistry Category:Non-nucleophilic bases Category:Tert-butyl compounds
