Product Details

Tert-Butanol CAS#75-65-0
tert-Butanol (TBA), also referred to as trimethylmethanol or 2-methyl-2-propanol, is one of the four isomers of butanol, together with n-butanol, isobutanol, and sec-butanol. In its pure state, TBA appears as a colorless crystal and is a weakly polar small-molecule organic compound. When a small amount of water is present, it becomes a colorless, volatile liquid with a camphor-like odor. TBA is hygroscopic and flammable, with relatively higher toxicity and anesthetic effects compared with other alcohols. It is soluble in most organic solvents and is widely applied in various fields, mainly serving as a gasoline additive, solvent, and raw material for organic synthesis.

Product Application of Tert-Butanol CAS#75-65-0

tert-Butanol is widely utilized as an organic solvent and chemical intermediate, as well as a key raw material for the production of pharmaceuticals and fragrances. It is also applied as a solvent in molecular weight determination and as a reagent in chromatographic analysis. In the pesticide industry, tert-Butanol serves as an important intermediate for synthesizing various insecticides, including thiamethoxam, chlorpyrifos, and tebufenozide, as well as acaricides such as pyridaben and herbicides such as sec-butylamine. Additionally, sodium tert-butanolate, an important sodium alkoxide, is mainly used in the pesticide field, particularly in the cyclization reactions involved in pyrethroid production.
