Di-tert-butoxyacetylene is the organic compound with the formula (CH₃)₃COC≡COC(CH₃)₃. A pale yellow liquid, it is one of the more common dialkoxyacetylenes. Most other dialkoxyacetylenes are very labile. For example, dimethoxyacetylene polymerizes within seconds at 0 °C. Di-tert-butoxyacetylene can be prepared from 1,4-dioxane in a multistep procedure.^[1]
