CAS 128-37-0: 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol
Description:2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, commonly known as BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), is an organic compound characterized by its antioxidant properties. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. BHT is primarily used as a food preservative and in various industrial applications to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending shelf life. The compound features a phenolic structure with two bulky tert-butyl groups and a methyl group, which contribute to its stability and effectiveness as an antioxidant. BHT is known for its ability to scavenge free radicals, making it valuable in preventing oxidative degradation in food products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. While generally recognized as safe in low concentrations, there are ongoing discussions regarding its potential health effects, including concerns about its estrogenic activity and environmental impact. Overall, BHT is a widely utilized compound in both food and industrial sectors due to its protective qualities against oxidation.
