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.
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.
Octadecyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate is significantly less volatile than simpler phenolic antioxidants such as butylhydroxytoluene (BHT). This makes it more suitable to stabilising plastics, as it is not driven out by the high temperatures experienced during plastic extrusion and moulding, [2] when they are heated to 150-320 °C (300–600 °F).

The chemical synthesis of BHT in industry has involved the reaction of p-cresol (4-methylphenol) with isobutylene (2-methylpropene), catalyzed by sulfuric acid: [11] CH 3 (C 6 H 4)OH + 2 CH 2 =C(CH 3) 2 → ((CH 3) 3 C) 2 CH 3 C 6 H 2 OH. Alternatively, BHT has been prepared from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol by hydroxymethylation or aminomethylation ...
Pentaerythritol tetrakis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate) is a chemical compound composed of four sterically hindered phenols linked through a pentaerythritol core. It is used as primary antioxidant for stabilizing polymers , particularly polyethylene and polypropylene .
tert-Butyl alcohol is used as a solvent, ethanol denaturant, paint remover ingredient, and gasoline octane booster and oxygenate.It is a chemical intermediate used to produce methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) by reaction with methanol and ethanol, respectively, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) by reaction with hydrogen peroxide.
Musk xylene is produced from meta-xylene (1,3-dimethylbenzene), by a Friedel–Crafts alkylation with tert-butyl chloride and aluminium chloride followed by nitration with fuming nitric acid or with a 70:30 mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid.
Probucol, sold under the trade name Lorelco among others, is an anti-hyperlipidemic drug [1] initially developed for the treatment of coronary artery disease.Clinical use was discontinued in some countries after it was found that the drug may have the undesired effect of lowering HDL in patients with a previous history of heart disease.
