There is acetic acid now, and it is wanted to be transformed into tert-butanol. Acetic acid is active, and an organic acid containing carboxyl groups is also. Tert-butanol is an alcohol with a special structure.

To carry out this transformation, be aware of the reasons and follow the method. It is necessary to use various reagents, under suitable conditions, or under the coordination of temperature, pressure, and catalyst, to rearrange and transform the molecular structure of acetic acid. The carboxyl group is reacted into an alcohol hydroxyl group, and the structure of tert-butyl is constructed.

However, this is not an easy task, and the reaction steps in the meantime may be complicated and tortuous. Careful operation and precise regulation are required to achieve the transformation from acetic acid to tert-butanol. Every step is about success or failure and cannot be ignored. From the preparation of raw materials, to the control of reactions, to the analysis of products, all need to be meticulous in order to achieve this transformation.
