About tert-Amyl alcohol, 98%

tert-Amyl alcohol is an analytical reagent (Synthesis grade) carrying the CAS registry number 75-85-4, specified at 98% purity. Its molecular formula is C5H12O and its molecular weight is 88.15 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2-methylbutan-2-ol. Common synonyms include 2-Methyl-2-butanol and tert-Pentyl alcohol.

The material typically appears as a colourless liquid. Literature values give a boiling point of 102 °C and a density of 0.808 - 0.809 g/mL. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for organic synthesis, pharmaceutical synthesis, polymer and resin production and paints, coatings and inks. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research and paints and coatings.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies tert-Amyl alcohol in 500 mL, 5 L, 25 kg and 165 kg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
