Potassium tert-Butoxide (KOtBu or C₄H₉KO), also known as Potassium tert-butylate, is a strong, non-nucleophilic alkoxide base widely used in organic synthesis. It is the potassium salt of tert-Butanol. Due to its high basicity and steric hindrance, it is especially useful in elimination reactions and base-catalyzed transformations.
