CAS 75-65-0: tert-Butanol

tert-Butanol

tert-Butyl alcohol is used as a solvent and an ethanol denaturant. It is an active ingredient in paint remover. It acts as an intermediate in the production of methyl tertiary butyl ether and ethyl tertiary butyl ether by reaction with methanol and ethanol. It is also used in the preparation of tert-butyl chloride, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, isobutylene and methyl methacrylate. It serves as a fuel additive as well as a gasoline octane booster. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications Tert-butyl Alcohol is used as an organic solvent. It is also used in the synthesis of proteosome inhibitors that are quite potent. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Kawamura, S. et al.: J. Med. Chem., 56, 3689 (2013); Galy, N. et al.: Tetrahedron Lett., 54, 2703 (2013)

Tert-butyl alcohol is used in wastewater treatment as a biocide. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to their aminotransferase enzymes. Tert-butyl alcohol binds to the active site of an enzyme and inhibits its activity by forming a covalent bond with an amino acid residue. Tert-butyl alcohol also binds to human serum albumin, which may be due to its ability to react with hydroxyl groups on the protein surface. The reaction solution is analyzed using a kinetic method, which determines how much tert-butyl alcohol is consumed over time (k1/2). This information can be used to determine the reaction mechanism for tert-butyl alcohol.
