Tert-amyl alcohol, also known as 2-methyl-2-butanol or pentanol, is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid with a distinctive odor. It is an isomer of amyl alcohol and is commonly used as a solvent, a denaturant for ethanol, and a fuel additive in gasoline. Tert-amyl alcohol is also found in some perfumes and as a flavoring agent in beverages. It is important to note that it is toxic and can cause central nervous system depression, respiratory failure, and even death when ingested in large quantities. Proper handling and storage are essential to prevent accidents and health risks.
The CAS Registry Mumber 25-85-4 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 2 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 25-85: (4*2)+(3*5)+(2*8)+(1*5)=44 44 % 10 = 4 So 25-85-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
The kinetics of the etherification of tert-amyl alcohol with ethanol, catalysed by a strong ion-exchange resin, Amberlyst 15, has been studied in a batch reactor at temperatures between 323 and 353K and at a pressure of 0.8MPa. The kinetics was described by a coupled sorption-reaction model. Flo...detailed
This work concerns catalyst screening for the synthesis of tert-amyl ethyl ether (TAEE) from a liquid-phase reaction between tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) and ethanol (EtOH). Various commercial catalysts, i.e., Amberlyst 15, Amberlyst 16, Amberlyst 36, Amberlyst 131, β-zeolite with Si/Al=13.5 and 40,...detailed
Experimental excess enthalpies of the ternary system tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME)+tert-amyl alcohol (TAOH)+hexane and the corresponding binary subsystems at 313.15K are reported. Also the systems TAME + TAOH and TAOH + hexane have been measured at 298.15K. A quasi-isothermal flow calorimeter ha...detailed
