(CH3)3COH tertiary butyl alcohol (also called TBA) originated as a by-product from making propylene oxide. TBA was an early blending agent for gasoline. It also worked well with methanol as a co-solvent and disolves easily in both (gasoline and methanol) and has an octane rating of RON 106, MON 89 and (R+M)/2 = 98. On the downside, its hydrophilic properties (its affinity to attach to water molecules) made it an undeisirable blending additive. *from: Petroleum Refining in Nontechnical Language; 3rd edition, William L.

Alcohol itself is not an element so it has no single symbol.
