| 1. | Benzoyl reacts with an excess of methylmagnesium Grignard to form a tertiary alcohol.
|
| 2. | Tertiary alcohols eliminate easily at just above room temperature, but primary alcohols require a higher temperature.
|
| 3. | However, secondary and tertiary alcohols give a substantial amount of alkenes and ethers as side products.
|
| 4. | This reaction also occurs for secondary and tertiary alcohols, but substitution occurs via the S N 1 pathway.
|
| 5. | Tertiary alcohols cannot be metabolized into aldehydes and as a result they cause no hangover or toxicity through this mechanism.
|
| 6. | Some " tert "-amyl alcohol are tertiary alcohols which have seen both medicinal and recreational use.
|
| 7. | Owing to the Lewis acidity of the Li + ions, LiPF 6 also catalyses the tetrahydropyranylation of tertiary alcohols.
|
| 8. | As with acid halides and anhyrides, they will react with an excess of a Grignard reagent to give tertiary alcohols.
|
| 9. | An example of an alcohol derived from 3-ethylpentane is the tertiary alcohol 3-ethylpentan-3-ol.
|
| 10. | One advantage of this method is that the reaction stops at the ketone and does not proceed to a tertiary alcohol.
