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?

Just make the HI... your not going to find a legit company willing to sell it to you... either in situ or there is a super easy synth over on Rhodium
