3-Methyl-3-pentanol (IUPAC name: 3-methylpentan-3-ol) is an organic chemical compound and a tertiary hexanol. It is used in the synthesis of the tranquilizer emylcamate.[2]

Synthesis

It can be prepared by reacting ethylmagnesium bromide with methyl acetate in the so-called Grignard reaction using dried diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran as solvent.

Synthesis of 3-Methyl-3-pentanol

It can be prepared also by reacting ethylmagnesium bromide with butanone in the same conditions already mentioned.

gollark: Python has a ternary operator too, actually, but it's weird and not widely known.

gollark: Is this some kind of microcontroller microcontrolling stream?

gollark: <@!220691068654452736> I'm curious, what exactly is the weird project you have going on with the ominous barcodes?

gollark: The on-chip hardware RNGs are not PRNGs but extract entropy from electrical noise.

gollark: I do not think you understand what I am referring to.
