Description:
3-Methyl-2-butanol, also known as tert-amyl alcohol, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C5H12O. It is classified as a branched-chain alcohol, characterized by its hydroxyl (-OH) functional group attached to a carbon chain. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a distinctive odor. It is moderately soluble in water and exhibits higher solubility in organic solvents. 3-Methyl-2-butanol has a relatively low boiling point compared to other alcohols, making it volatile. It is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including coatings and adhesives, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. Additionally, it can be found in some flavoring and fragrance formulations. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with its use.
