2-methyl-2-butanol 

2-methyl-2-butanol is a tertiary alcohol which is 20 times stronger than regular ethanol (alcohol). 2-methyl-2-butanol doesn't produce aldehydes as a metabolite and instead, produces 2-methyl-2-butanyl gluconoride and 2-methyl-2,3-butanediol. Meanwhile, ethanol produces acetaldehyde, a moderately toxic aldehyde, before becoming the harmless acetic acid. As a result, there is no hangover from 2-methyl-2-butanol but there is a temporary hangover from ethanol. The dose range of 2-methyl-2-butanol is 2ml to 12ml+.
2-methyl-2-butanol can be made from ethyl chloride by the grignard reaction from an ethyl magnesium chloride intermediate reacting with acetone and then a hydrochloric acid work-up.

Butane is a gas that's in your lighter. It's useful for turning on older stoves, cigarettes, weed joints, starting a fire with firewood to stay warm if you go camping or if the power goes out, turning on candles, and butane can even be used in mini-stoves. Butane is not a bastard gas, pentane is a bastard gas. Butane might not be as fancy as propane, but Hank Hill used a butane lighter to turn on his cigarettes and accidentally took a puff off of a weed joint thinking it is a self rolled cigarette. He ended up freaking out and sleeping in the bushes, LOL! Don't drive high! In another episode, he caught his son smoking a cigarette with his friend, and made him smoke an entire carton of cigarettes and he joined in the end. Then Peggy joined. Then they quit.
