Tert-butanol, also known as 2-methyl 2-propanol, is a colourless, flammable liquid with a slightly sweet odour. It is a tertiary alcohol with the chemical formula (CH3)3COH, and it is commonly used as a solvent and as a feedstock in the production of other chemicals.

One of the unique properties of tert-butanol is its high boiling point of 82.4 °C, which makes it useful as a solvent for reactions that require high temperatures. It also has a low vapour pressure, which means that it evaporates more slowly than other solvents and is less likely to produce harmful vapours.

Tert-butanol is commonly used as a solvent for organic reactions, such as Grignard reactions and esterifications, and is also used as a co-solvent in the production of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and resins. It can be used as a fuel additive to reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants in petrol, and it is also used in the manufacture of plastics and synthetic fibres.

Although tert-butanol is generally considered to be safe for use, it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system if it is not handled properly. It is important to follow appropriate safety protocols, including wearing protective clothing and using appropriate ventilation when working with tert-butanol.

In conclusion, tert-butanol is a versatile solvent with a wide range of applications in various industries. Its unique properties make it an essential component in the production of many chemicals, and it is widely used as a solvent for organic reactions. However, proper safety precautions must be taken to ensure that it is used safely and responsibly.

    I have been using surgical spirit for years but recently it's very hard to get hold of. Luckily Amazon sell this so ordered some just to keep back. It can be used for a number of things so handy to have a bottle in. It's only a small bottle but you don't need much.
