This compound, (1-(((tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)methyl)cyclopropyl)methanol, is a protected derivative of cyclopropane-1,1-diyldimethanol, featuring one free primary hydroxyl group and one protected as a tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ether. It serves as a valuable building block and intermediate in organic synthesis, enabling selective functionalization of the unprotected alcohol while the TBDMS group shields the other hydroxyl from unwanted reactions. This selective protection is crucial in multi-step syntheses for pharmaceuticals, natural products, and advanced materials, where the rigid cyclopropyl moiety imparts unique steric and conformational properties. Applications include the preparation of bioactive molecules, drug candidates, and fine chemicals requiring precise control over functional group reactivity and molecular architecture.
