2-tert-Butyl-4-methylphenol

Description:

2-tert-Butyl-4-methylphenol, commonly known as BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H14O. It is characterized by its phenolic structure, featuring a tert-butyl group and a methyl group attached to a benzene ring. BHT is a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is known for its antioxidant properties, making it widely used as a food preservative and in cosmetics to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. BHT is stable under normal conditions but can undergo oxidation when exposed to air and light. Its safety profile indicates low toxicity, although some studies have raised concerns about potential endocrine-disrupting effects at high concentrations. BHT is also utilized in various industrial applications, including rubber and plastics, due to its ability to inhibit degradation caused by heat and oxygen. Overall, its versatility and effectiveness as an antioxidant make it a valuable compound in multiple sectors.
