Butoxybenzene Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

Butyl phenyl ether was used as model compound to study the transformation of human pharmaceuticals detected in water during chlorine disinfection. It was used in the synthesis of amino acids with aryl-keto function in their side-chains.

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 96, p. 2829, 1974 DOI: 10.1021/ja00816a027

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. See also ETHERS. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes.

Purification Methods

Dissolve it in diethyl ether, washed first with 10% aqueous NaOH to remove traces of phenol, then repeatedly with distilled water, followed by evaporation of the solvent and distillation under reduced pressure [Arnett & Wu J Am Chem Soc 82 5660 1960].
