4-tert-Butylphenol is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 3 CC 6 H 4 OH. It is one of three isomeric tert -butyl phenols . It is a white solid with a distinct phenolic odor.
Tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) isocyanurate is a chemical compound used as a polymer stabilizer in plastics. Like other hindered phenols it acts as a primary antioxidant . More than 1000 tonnes per year are used in the EU.
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 .
Firstly, 2,4-dimethyl-6-tert-butylphenol is reacted with formaldehyde and HCl (Blanc reaction) to generate a chloromethyl group in the less hindered meta position. This intermediate then reacts with cyanuric acid to give the desired product.
The oxidation of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol in the alkaline to the intensely blue-colored phenoxy radical can also occur with potassium ferricyanide. [1] [9] [6] The 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxy radical forms blue crystals on cooling to -70 °C which are stable at room temperature for several weeks and only gradually turn yellow. [9]
Density: 1.217 g/cm 3 [1 ... Its half life in water has been estimated at between 4.5 and 15 ... 4-tert-Butylphenol - used as a chain-length regulator in the ...
2,6-di-tert-butylphenol is a precursor to more complex compounds used as antioxidants and light-protection agents for the stabilization for polymers. Of particular note is methyl-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionate (CAS# 6386-38-5), which is formed by the Michael addition of methyl acrylate.
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]
