Can you share the provenance of this Google Sheet?
Thanks,

Isoamyl alcohol is on line 185.
There is also a reference link in column G
box of the line 185 to an ACS publication.
Hope this helps.

Dear
Colleagues,
Isoamyl
alcohol (3-Methyl-1-butanol) is classified as a Class B
peroxide former, as confirmed by multiple sources. However,
I have yet to find case studies or documented incidents
where it has caused issues beyond its inherent flammability.
Given its recent designation as a “green” and renewable
chemical, with proposed recycling and bioproduction
initiatives, I am interested in understanding how industry
currently manages isoamyl alcohol in this context.
If anyone
has insights on industry handling practices or case studies
where isoamyl alcohol has posed peroxide-related risks, I
would greatly appreciate your input. My intent is to use
this information to help establish policies with my
colleagues in the bio-based sector.
Thank you
for your time and expertise.
Regards,
Tammy
