t-Butyl alcohol


t-Butyl alcohol (melting point: 25.8oC, boiling point: 82.4oC, density: 0.7866, flash point: 11.1oC) is a low-melting solid that, after melting,exists as a colorless liquid. t-Butyl alcohol is produced by the hydration of iso-butene. The favored tertiary carbocation intermediate limits the possible alcohols produced to only this one.
