14 Hilarious Tert Butyl Group Puns

Please help! i dont need someone to draw the mechanism just to tell me what kind of what happens/what the product is. also with the second question ive managed to add both the benzene and the cooh group but i dont know how to add the tert butyl group. any help is appreciated, dont have much time. reddit.com/gallery/l2m1o3

Phenyl group placement? Not entirely sure where it would go. Additionally, are these the correct reagents to use in the first rxn to attach the tert butyl to the ester?

Di-tert-butyl-peroxide safety systems

I’ve been given a task of supervising a potential client of ours who’s installing a DTBP catalyzed batch reactor system.

I’m a little nervous about their lack of candor around their design and controls.

Anyone here have experience with DTBP? Could you describe your basic safety infrastructure?

Do Ethanol and Methyl-Tert-Butyl-Ether (MTBE) form dipole-induced dipole bonds?

I need help on this one. My thinking is that since both molecules have a polar and a non-polar region, these can interact and form dipole-induced dipole bonds (in both pure ethanol and pure MTBE). The polar region in the hydroxyl group of an ethanol molecule can interact with the short nonpolar side chain of another ethanol molecule to form dipole-induced dipole bonds; the same can also happen to MTBE. However, I can't seem to find supporting data online for this; most of the things I find say that ethanol only has 3 IMFAs (dipole-dipole, LDF, and H-Bonding). It would also be great to hear an explanation on this. I'm just very confused...thank you and have a great day!! :>

because of this test we, chemists, can't normally name Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether by short name in lab

isobutyl vs sec-butyl vs tert-butyl

How the hell do I learn this?

Naming at first was easy, but when you start doing substitutes of chains, I'm lost and then I need to find the IUPAC. I'm so lost.

Disposal of Organohalogens (tert-butyl chloride/2chloro-2-methylpropane)

Hi,

Currently working as a science teacher on a little island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean and we have no specialist waste disposal company/person. I have planned a practical with my 6th form (17/18) year old students to make a halo-alkane (2-chloro-2-methylpropane) but can't find any information on how to dispose of haloalkanes!

It also turns out that I'm the person who is meant to be able to work out how to dispose of a big bottle of "organic halides" they have in a store room out the back of the school...

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Edit: solution confirmed, will be clearing up most of it tomorrow with an E2 reaction, might post another question next week when I've found some more interesting bottles in the stores...

Turns out my predecessors waste management was bottle it and leave it...
