4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-2,5-dimethylphenol

Description:
4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-2,5-dimethylphenol, also known by its CAS number 17696-37-6, is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a tert-butyl group (1,1-dimethylethyl) and two methyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions of the aromatic ring, contributing to its steric bulk and hydrophobic properties. It is typically a white to light yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some degree of polarity, allowing for potential interactions with other polar substances. This compound is often used as an antioxidant in various applications, including plastics and rubber, due to its ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit oxidative degradation. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it useful in preserving materials. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with all chemical substances.
