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 by limiting chain growth.
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.
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.
2 c 6 h 12 + o 2 → 2 c 6 h 11 oh This process coforms cyclohexanone , and this mixture ("KA oil" for ketone-alcohol oil) is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid . The oxidation involves radicals and the intermediacy of the hydroperoxide C 6 H 11 O 2 H. Alternatively, cyclohexanol can be produced by the hydrogenation of phenol :
4-tert-Butylcatechol (TBC) is an organic chemical compound which is a derivative of catechol. [1] TBC is available in the form of a solid crystal flake [ 2 ] and 85% solution in methanol [ 3 ] or water.
An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.
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 .
4-tert-Butylbenzaldehyde is notable as a rare example of industrial-scale electrochemistry. It is produced by BASF and Givaudan (typically as its methanol acetal) through a double anodic oxidation of 4-tert-butyltoluene on greater than 10,000 ton per year scale. [2] [3]
