Metabolism

Tertiary aliphatic alcohols,which are much more stable biologically than are primary or secondary alcohols, are usually highly conjugated with glucuronic acid and excreted in the urine both unchanged and as the glucuronides.The tertiary carbinolgroup resists oxidation, but oxidation of alkylsubstituents may occur(Williams,1959).
