4-NONYLPHENOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

viscous colourless liquid with a phenol-like smell

Uses

weevil pheromone, shows estrogenic activity

Uses

Principal use as an intermediate in the production of nonionic ethoxylated surfactants; as an intermediate in the manufacture of phosphite antioxidants used for the plastics and rubber industries

Uses

4-nonylphenol is used in the process for the manufacture of 5-nonyl salicylaldoxime, which is used for the selective purification and concentration of copper ions.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of phenols that is phenol which is para-substituted with a nonyl group.

Health Hazard

Nonylphenol is a severe irritant of the eyes and skin.

Carcinogenicity

Nonylphenol has recently been shown to have estrogenic properties, triggering mitotic activity in rat endometrium and cell proliferation in estrogen-sensitive tumor cells.9 Potential toxicity to humans who may be exposed to nonylphenol through leaching of plastics has not been determined.
