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 .
