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

There are other routes available that don't make use of HI or EtONa. What tertiary alcohol is it?

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?
