BOILING POINT
n-Butyl Alcohol n-Butyl Alcohol, a four carbon straight chain alcohol, is a volatile, clear liquid with a strong alcoholic odor; miscible with water. It is flammable strongly with a luminous flame.
Formula: C4H9OH
Boiling point: 118 ºC
Melting point: -89 ºC
Tert-Butyl Alcohol
Tert-Butyl Alcohol or “2-methyl-2-propanol” is the simplest tertiary alcohol. It is one of the four isomers of butanol. Tert-Butanol is a clear liquid (or a colorless solid, depending on the ambient temperature) 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.
Formula: C4H10O
Boiling point: 82 ºC
Melting point: 25-26 ºC
n-Amyl Alcohol n-Amyl Alcohol or “1-Pentanol” is an alcohol with five carbon atoms. It is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant aroma.
Formula: C5H11OH
Boiling point: 136-138 °C
Melting point: -78 °C
