tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [3] and more recently as a recreational drug. [4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol. [5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.
Amyl alcohol isomers; Common name Structure Type IUPAC name Boiling point (°C) [3] 1-pentanol or normal amyl alcohol primary Pentan-1-ol: 138.5 2-methyl-1-butanol or active amyl alcohol primary 2-Methylbutan-1-ol: 128.7 3-methyl-1-butanol or isoamyl alcohol or isopentyl alcohol primary 3-Methylbutan-1-ol: 131.2 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol or ...
tert-Amyl chloride (2-methyl-2-butyl chloride) is an alkyl chloride used for flavoring and odorizing. [2] At room temperature, it is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. It is an isomer of 1-chloropentane ( n -amyl chloride).
tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME) is an ether used as a fuel oxygenate. TAME derives from C5 distillation fractions of naphtha. [4] It has an ethereous odor. [1] Unlike most ethers, it does not require a stabilizer as it does not form peroxides on storage. [5] Other names: [6] 2-Methoxy-2-methylbutane; Butane, 2-methoxy-2-methyl-
Melting point: 73–79 °C (163–174 °F) [1] [2] ... The tert-amyl alcohol acts as a weak hypnotic, in addition to improving the solubility of the tribromoethanol.
Amyl chloride may refer to any of the monochlorinated derivatives of the isomers of pentane. They have the molecular formula C 5 H 11 Cl. tert-Amyl chloride; 1-Chloropentane (n-amyl chloride) 2-Chloropentane; 3-Chloropentane; 1-Chloro-3-methylbutane (isoamyl chloride)
The nomenclature has now reversed, with "amyl" being more often used to refer to the terminally branched group also called isopentyl, as in amobarbital. A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C 5 H 9. The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme ...
tert-Butyl alcohol is the simplest tertiary alcohol, with a formula of (CH 3) 3 COH (sometimes represented as t-BuOH). Its isomers are 1-butanol , isobutanol , and butan-2-ol . tert -Butyl alcohol is a colorless solid, which melts near room temperature and has a camphor -like odor.
