tertiary alcohol

The reaction product is a primary, secondary or tertiary alcohol.

Tertiary alcohols form the products 6 and 7 via a S1 mechanism.

An example of an alcohol derived from 3-ethylpentane is the tertiary alcohol 3-ethylpentan-3-ol.

Treatment with ketones leads to tertiary alcohols in high yield.

When water is eliminated from cyclic tertiary alcohols by an E1 route, three major products are formed.

One advantage of this method is that the reaction stops at the ketone and does not proceed to a tertiary alcohol.

This type of isomerism is most identifiable in secondary and tertiary alcohol isomers.

It is used to convert secondary and tertiary alcohol with an adjacent proton into alkenes.

For example, tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidized directly.

Lucas' reagent is used to determine mainly between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.

For example, ketones react to give tertiary alcohols in a two-step process:

Treatment of tertiary alcohol 28 with the Burgess reagent gave the exocyclic alkene.

One type of reaction displayed by acetylides are addition reactions with ketones to form tertiary alcohols.

Grignard reagents react with carbonyl groups to secondary and tertiary alcohols.

Reaction with carboxylic esters to give tertiary alcohols.

Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized by potassium dichromate.

This reaction competes with the Meyer-Schuster rearrangement in the case of tertiary alcohols.

When using secondary and tertiary alcohols, however, the resulting zirconium complex becomes increasingly susceptible to hydrolysis.

Tertiary alcohol groups are unaffected.

Tertiary alcohols do not oxidise.

However, secondary and tertiary alcohols give a substantial amount of alkenes and ethers as side products.

Lucas test in alcohols is a test to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.

Tertiary alcohols cannot be metabolised into aldehydes and as a result they cause no hangover or toxicity through this mechanism.

Tertiary alcohols eliminate easily at just above room temperature, but primary alcohols require a higher temperature.

LiPF also catalyses the tetrahydropyranylation of tertiary alcohols.
