Tertiary butylalcohol

De Luca [3.5] recommends furthermore the addition of e. g. tertiary butylalcohol (TBA), to increase the transport of water vapor out of the product and to avoid collapse in sucrose-,... 

ABSTRACT. An X-ray diffraction measurement has been carried out for a 3.9 mol% aqueous solution of TBA (tertiary butylalcohol) with an energy-dispersive diffractometer. Constant temperature molecular dynamics calculation has also been made for an aqueous solution model simulating the above-mentioned mixture. Both results suggest the formation of a fairly stable clathrate-like structure of water around TBA molecules. 

Tertiary butylalcohol (TBA) can mix with water in all proportions at room temperature and form a uniform solution, even though it has a fairly large hydrophobic group. However, the aqueous solution of TBA is one of the most interesting aqueous systems since it exhibits very unusual behavior in its physico-chemical properties especially in the dilute region. A deep and sharp minimum in the partial molar volume vs. composition curve for TBA (Nakanishi, 1960) [1] and a large peak in the excess heat capacity vs. composition curve (Desnoyers et al., 1980) [2] are well known examples of such anomalies. For other experimental results reported earlier, we refer to a review by Glew et al. (1968)...
