3-Ethyl-3-pentanol, also known as 3-ethylpentan-3-ol, is a tertiary alcohol with the molecular formula C7H16O.

It reacts with chromic acid by first dehydrating to an olefin 3-ethyl-2-pentene, and then by converting the double bond to an epoxide.

[2] Perfluorination affords perfluorotriethylcarbinol, a powerful uncoupling agent.
