Notes:
tert-Butanol, or 2-methyl-2-propanol (colourless liquid or white solid, depending on the ambient temperature), is the simplest tertiary alcohol. It is one of the four isomers of butanol. tert-Butanol is a clear liquid with a camphor-like odor. It is very soluble in water and miscible with ethanol and diethyl ether. It is unique among the isomers of butanol because it tends to be a solid at room temperature, with a melting point slightly above 25 °C. (Wikipedia)
