Description

tert-Butanol CAS NO 25-65-0 is a versatile tertiary alcohol and a valuable organic solvent and chemical intermediate. Its unique steric hindrance and polar nature make it an excellent solvent for resins, coatings, and as a reaction medium in organic synthesis. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it serves as a key building block for producing tert-butyl ethers, esters, and other derivatives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key starting material and protecting group reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Solvent for Coatings and Resins: An effective solvent for cellulose esters, acrylics, and other polymers used in paints, lacquers, and industrial coatings.
• Gasoline Additive (MTBE Production): A primary feedstock for the manufacture of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), an octane booster.
• Organic Synthesis Reagent: Used as a tert-butylation agent and as a solvent in Grignard reactions and other organometallic processes.
• Denaturant for Ethanol: Employed to render industrial ethanol unfit for consumption, following approved formulations.
• Extraction and Purification: Utilized in the extraction and recrystallization of various organic compounds.
• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as a common solvent and reagent in research and analytical chemistry laboratories.

Quality Control

Our tert-Butanol is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We offer various grades, including industrial and high-purity, with specifications tailored to meet the demands of specific applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration of peroxides. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
