4′-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-4-methoxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-ol

Description:

4′-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-4-methoxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-ol, identified by its CAS number 1261955-28-5, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. This compound features a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) and a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the biphenyl framework, along with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 3-position of the biphenyl. The presence of these functional groups contributes to its chemical properties, including potential hydrophobicity due to the bulky tert-butyl group and the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group. This compound may exhibit antioxidant properties and could be of interest in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and materials science. Its specific reactivity and interactions would depend on the surrounding environment and the presence of other chemical species. As with many organic compounds, safety and handling precautions should be observed due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
