tert-Butyl nitrite is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)3CONO. A colorless liquid, it is the tert-butyl ester of nitrous acid and is typically employed as a solution with tert-butyl alcohol.

The compound is used as a reagent in organic synthesis.[2] It reacts with secondary amides to give N-nitroso amides:[3]

RC(O)N(H)R + (CH3)3CONO → RC(O)N(NO)R + (CH3)3COH
