CAS NO.: 75-65-0
Molecular Formula: C4H10O Molecular weight: 74.04
Molecular Structure:
Properties:
Tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) is a clear, noncorrosive liquid. Tert-butyl alcohol is miscible with water as well as most common organic solvents and forms azeotrope. The sterically hindered tertiary butyl group imparts stability compare to primary and secondary alcohols. In result, the solubility and oxidative stability characteristics provide many industrial applications as a reaction and process solvent and chemical intermediate.
