When yeast enzymes react with glucose they produce two molecules of carbon dioxide and two of this molecule, which is why it is sometimes known as grain alcohol.
This compound can be formed by the reaction of formaldehyde with methylmagnesium bromide in an acidic solution. Since this compound forms an azeotrope in a nineteen to one ratio with water, a dehydrating agent must be used to produce the one hundred percent, or "absolute", form of this compound. It can be produced by the addition of water to ethylene, and can lose the hydrogen from its hydroxyl group to form ethoxide. When yeast enzymes react with glucose they produce two molecules of carbon dioxide and two of this molecule, which is why it is sometimes known as grain alcohol. For 10 points, name this compound with formula CH3CH2OH, the alcohol present in alcoholic beverages.
