tert-Amyl alcohol (TAA) or 2-methylbutan-2-ol (2M2B), is a branched pentanol. Historically, TAA has been used as an anesthetic [3] and more recently as a recreational drug. [4] TAA is mostly a positive allosteric modulator for GABA A receptors in the same way as ethanol. [5] The psychotropic effects of TAA and ethanol are similar, though distinct.

Pentyl is a five-carbon alkyl group or substituent with chemical formula-C 5 H 11. It is the substituent form of the alkane pentane . In older literature, the common non-systematic name amyl was often used for the pentyl group.
If the acyl groups are different, then they are named in alphabetical order in the same way, with anhydride replacing acid and IUPAC name consists of three words. For example, CH 3 CO−O−OCCH 3 is called ethanoic anhydride and CH 3 CO−O−OCCH 2 CH 3 is called ethanoic propanoic anhydride.
