    <option value="T2">T2</option>

    <option value="T3">T3</option>

</select>
<div class="btn-group select select-block">
  <i class="dropdown-arrow dropdown-arrow-primary"></i>
  <button class="btn dropdown-toggle clearfix btn-primary" data-toggle="dropdown" id="select_alert">

Yes, by jquery you can get this:

Here is the example:

http://jsfiddle/jV7ye/

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#chkdwn2").click(function() {
       if ($(this).is(":checked")) { 
          $("#dropdown").prop("disabled", true);
       } else {
          $("#dropdown").prop("disabled", false);  
       }
    });
});

UPDATED JS CODE as per your need:

$(document).ready(function() {

        if(!$("#chkdwn2").is(":checked"))
        {
            $("#dropdown").prop("disabled",true);
        }

        $("#chkdwn2").click(function() {
           if ($(this).is(":checked")) { 
              $("#dropdown").prop("disabled", false);
           } else {
              $("#dropdown").prop("disabled", true);  
           }
        });
    });

Replace dropdown id with your id. Thanks

By using jquery we can do

Disable Dropdown

$('.select_alert').attr('data-toggle','');

Enable Dropdown

$('.select_alert').attr('data-toggle','dropdown');

If above solutions does not work for you, the try

$('#yourDropDownElement').prop('disabled', true).trigger('chosen:updated');

I'm using boostrap v 3.3.6

You can do this by add if block on the property and add disabled class to the drop down.

below is my div in that i have eanbled/disabled dropdown toggle button on IsNewEditDisabled

<button ng-if="!IsNewEditDisabled" class="btn dropdown-toggle" ng-class="{open: status.isopen}" dropdown-toggle>
                                <i class="fa fa-pencil"></i><span class="caret"></span>
                            </button>
                            <button ng-if="IsNewEditDisabled" class="btn dropdown-toggle disabled" ng-class="{open: status.isopen}" dropdown-toggle>
                                <i class="fa fa-pencil"></i><span class="caret"></span>
                            </button>
