3-Pentanol, 3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-(Cat No.:L031559), also known as tert-butyl tetramethylpentanol, is a highly branched aliphatic alcohol featuring bulky tert-butyl and tetramethyl-substituted carbon centers. Its steric hindrance provides significant thermal and oxidative stability, making it useful in specialized chemical applications. This compound can act as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of lubricants, plasticizers, and specialty solvents. The tertiary alcohol functionality allows for selective reactions such as esterification or ether formation. Its nonpolar character and structural rigidity also make it suitable in formulations requiring reduced volatility and enhanced chemical resistance.
