2-Methyl- 2-propanol

Tertiary butyl alcohol, trimethyl carbinol, tertiary butanol. 2-methyl-2-propanol, Me3COH. Colourless prisms, m.p. 25°C, b.p. 83°C. Prepared by absorbing isobutene (2-methylpropene) in sulphuric acid, neutralizing and steam distilling the liquor. Converted to isobutene by heating with oxalic acid. Potassium-/-buloxide is a very strong base.

The para and ortho positions of phenols condense at the carbonyl group of acetone to make bisphenols, eg, bisphenol A, 4,4 -(l-methylethyhdene)bisphenol [80-05-07]). If the H atom is activated, CICH— compounds add to the carbonyl group in the presence of strong base chloroform gives chloretone (l,l,l-trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol [57-15-8]). 

In the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide at about 50°C, chloroform condenses with acetone to give l,l,l-trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol, [57-15-8] ie, chlorobutanol, chloretone, or acetone—chloroform (9,10). Chlorobutanol is a white crystalline substance with a campborlike odor its sedative, anesthetic, and antiseptic properties have given the compound some importance in the pharmaceutical industry.
