Description:2-Nitro-4-tert-butylphenol, with the CAS number 3279-07-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of nitrophenols. It features a phenolic structure with a nitro group (-NO2) and a tert-butyl group (-C(CH3)3) attached to the aromatic ring. This compound is typically characterized by its yellow crystalline appearance and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the tert-butyl group enhances the compound's steric hindrance, influencing its chemical behavior and interactions. 2-Nitro-4-tert-butylphenol may exhibit antioxidant properties and has been studied for its potential applications in materials science and as a stabilizer in polymer formulations. As with many nitrophenolic compounds, it is important to handle this substance with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
