would like to get my hands on these reagents"
Hydroiodic acid(250-500ml) and sodium ethoxide or sodium tertbutoxide(100g-250g) for a reduction of teriary alcohol.

Are you unable to make them yourself? That’s likely going to be easier than buying.

Duplicate thread. I am closing the other one.

There are other routes available that don't make use of HI or EtONa. What tertiary alcohol is it?
argox120 - 5-10-2024 at 08:42
it is a benzylic tertiary alchol like 1,1 dimethyl benzyl alcohol

2-phenyl‐2-propanol, eh? Trying to make cumene and analogues?
What about generating HI in situ?
I remember seeing something for tertiary alcohols, like a Wolff-Kischner. Are you following a published procedure?
I ask those questions because there're probably other ways that don't need HI or EtONa.

Does it need to be Sodium Ethoxide or can Magnesium Ethoxide be used?
