2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light yellow crystals

Uses

Phenolic Phosphites, UV Stabilizer Intermediate

Uses

2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol is used to study its alkylation reaction with cinnamyl alcohol in the presence of Al-substituted disordered hexagonal molecular silica catalysts. It is a raw material for phosphite anti-oxidants. The antioxidants are primarily used in the manufacture of polyolefins. It is also used as an intermediate for the preparation of UV stabilizers and in manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and fragrances.

Uses

A chemical constituent of volatile oils from Catunaregam spinosa fruits.

Definition

ChEBI: 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol is a member of the class of phenols carrying two tert-butyl substituents at positions 2 and 4. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite, an antioxidant and a marine metabolite. It is an alkylbenzene and a member of phenols.
