Cis-1,4-Di-tert-butylcyclohexane has an axial tert-butyl group in the chair conformation and conversion to the twist-boat conformation places both groups in more favorable equatorial positions. As a result, the twist-boat conformation is more stable by 0.47 kJ/mol (0.11 kcal/mol) at 125 K (−148 °C) as measured by NMR spectroscopy .
tert-Butylbenzene is an organic compound classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon. Its structure consists of a benzene ring substituted with a tert -butyl group . It is a flammable colorless liquid which is nearly insoluble in water but miscible with organic solvents.
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 high molecular weight additive, with low volatility. It is well suited to stabilising polyolefins against degradation caused by long term heat aging. [1] It is an approved food contact material in the US. [2]
Pnictogen-substituted tetrahedranes are pnictogen-containing analogues of tetrahedranes with the formula R x C x Pn 4-x (Pn = N, P, As, Sb, Bi). [1] Computational work has indicated that the incorporation of pnictogens to the tetrahedral core alleviates the ring strain of tetrahedrane. [2]
The effect of the tert-butyl group on the progress of a chemical reaction is called the Thorpe–Ingold effect illustrated in the Diels-Alder reaction below. Compared to a hydrogen substituent, the tert-butyl substituent accelerates the reaction rate by a factor of 240. [2] tert-Butyl effect. The tert-butyl effect is an example of steric hindrance.
A copper chromite catalyst is usually used industrially. [1] The cis/trans ratio of the CHDM is affected by the catalyst. [2] Byproduct of this process are 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (CH 3 C 6 H 10 CH 2 OH) and the monoester methyl 4-methyl-4-cyclohexanecarboxylate (CH 3 C 6 H 10 CO 2 CH 3, CAS registry number 51181-40-9).
