CAS 121-00-6: 3-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole

Description: 3-tert-Butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, commonly known as BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), is an organic compound with antioxidant properties, primarily used as a food preservative to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. BHA is characterized by its phenolic structure, which contributes to its ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit oxidative degradation. The presence of the tert-butyl group enhances its lipophilicity, making it effective in various lipid-containing products. BHA is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used within specified limits, although its safety has been the subject of some debate due to potential health concerns associated with high doses or prolonged exposure. In addition to its use in food, BHA is also found in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications, where it serves to stabilize products against oxidative damage.
