It has also found use as a plasticizer. Bisphenol A is difunctional and used to produce epoxy resin and polycarbonate. 4-tert-Butylphenol is monofunctional and so in polymer science terms, bisphenol A is a polymer chain extender but 4-tert-butylphenol is a chain stopper or sometimes called endcapper. It is thus use to control molecular weight ...
2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) is a white solid with a phenolic odour. It is primarily used as a raw material for the production of several commercially important antioxidants and phenolic benzotriazole-type UV absorbers. It also finds use as a starting material in the synthesis of agrochemicals, fragrances and catalysts (i.e. Jacobsen's ...
In reaction depicted below 3,4,5-trimethylphenol reacts with singlet oxygen generated from oxone/sodium carbonate in an acetonitrile/water mixture to a para-peroxyquinole. This hydroperoxide is reduced to the quinole with sodium thiosulfate. Phenols are oxidized to hydroquinones in the Elbs persulfate oxidation.
[5] 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol is also found as a by-product in the synthesis of the disubstitution products 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP, which are more widely used antioxidants. [2] Synthese von 2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylphenol mit Isobuten. A synthesis of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol has been described that is also suitable as a teaching experiment.
Alkylphenols are xenoestrogens. [3] Long chain Alkylphenols have the most potent estrogenic activity. [3] The European Union has implemented sales and use restrictions on certain applications in which nonylphenols are used because of their alleged "toxicity, persistence, and the liability to bioaccumulate" but the United States EPA has taken a slower approach to make sure that action is based ...
This white solid is a widely used stabilizer in polymers where it functions as a secondary antioxidant. It also reduces discoloration (yellowing) of plastics. The compound is a phosphite ester formed by the reaction of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol with phosphorus trichloride. [1] It is an approved food contact materials in the US. [2]
The industrial synthesis of 4,4′-biphenol was developed by Allan Hay in the 1960s. [2] [3] As the direct oxidative coupling of phenol gives a mixture of isomers, [4] [5] 4,4′-biphenol is instead prepared from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, where para-coupling is the only possibility. [3]
It is used as an antioxidant, e.g. to prevent gumming in fuels, and as an ultraviolet stabilizer. It is used in jet fuels, gasolines, and avgas. It is prepared by alkylation of xylenol with isobutylene. This alkylation provides a means to separate 2,4-xylenol from 2,5-xylenol since 2,4-dimethyl-6-tert-butylphenol is insoluble in 10% NaOH but 2 ...
