tert-Butanol

Description:
Tert-Butanol, also known as 2-methylpropan-2-ol, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic alcohol odor. It is classified as a tertiary alcohol due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a carbon atom that is connected to three other carbon atoms. This structure contributes to its relatively low reactivity compared to primary and secondary alcohols. Tert-Butanol is soluble in water and serves as a solvent for various organic compounds, making it useful in chemical synthesis and industrial applications. It has a moderate boiling point and vapor pressure, which allows it to evaporate easily at room temperature. Additionally, tert-Butanol can be used as a fuel additive and in the production of various chemicals, including butyl acrylate and tert-butyl ether. Its low toxicity and ability to act as a stabilizer in certain reactions further enhance its utility in both laboratory and industrial settings. However, proper handling and storage are essential due to its flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or ingestion.
