2-Methyl-2-propanol tert- Butyl alcohol

Addition of H20 to 2-methylpropene would yield tert-butyl alcohol (2-methyl-2-propanol) as the major product.

As a second example, consider the preparation of l-bromo-2-methyl-2-propanol from tert-butyl alcohol. 

Two isomers are described in the literature 2-Methyl-l,2,3-propanetriol or f3-Methylgylcerol, CH2(OH).C(CH3XOH).CH2.OH, col vis liq, bp 115-20° at 1.6mm. d 1.186 at 20°, nD 1.4730 at 20°, can best be prepd by hydration of /S-methyl-glycidol(2,3-epoxy- 2-metiiyl-l-propanol), and can be prepd directly from either dichloro-tert-butyl alcohol or /3-methylglycerol monochlorohydrin(Ref 2). See also Refs 1,4 5) and 2-(Hydroxymetby[)-l,3-propanediol or Trimethylol Methane, CH2(OH).CH(CH2OH)2 was prepd by Fujii(Ref 3) from a mixt of acetaldehyde formaldehyde(10 25 mol) heated with Ca(OH)2 and the product reduced with H in the presence of Ni...
