Description
3-Methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol is a high-purity solvent and intermediate supplied at min. 99 % for synthesis applications. Identified by CAS 56539-66-3 and empirical formula C₆H₁₄O₂, it has a molar mass of 118,18 g/mol and a density of 0,92 g/cm³. The compound boils at 173 °C and shows a flash point of 71 °C, supporting controlled handling in organic preparation work. This grade is intended for laboratory synthesis routes where a reliable alkoxy alcohol building block is required. Physical data including density and boiling behaviour help process chemists select appropriate reaction and work-up conditions. The material fits solvent and synthesis reagent inventories that demand clear identity, documented purity, and consistent pack presentation for routine laboratory use.
This article belongs on Technical & synthesis grade solvents, in Solvents.

Questions about 3-Methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, min. 99 %, for synthesis, 100 ml, glass
What is this article?
3-Methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol, min. 99 %, for synthesis, 100 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Technical & synthesis grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
Technical and synthesis grades are for cleaning, for a coarse extraction and for chemistry that does not end in a chromatogram. They cost less because more impurity is allowed. They are the wrong bottle to make a mobile phase or a volumetric standard.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Technical & synthesis grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis) and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
