2-tert-Amylphenol

Description:
2-tert-Amylphenol, with the CAS number 3279-27-4, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure where a tert-amyl group is attached to the second carbon of the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the bulky tert-amyl group. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for potential hydrogen bonding. 2-tert-Amylphenol is primarily used in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates, including surfactants and antioxidants, and may also serve as a stabilizer in certain formulations. Its chemical properties include moderate volatility and reactivity, particularly in electrophilic substitution reactions due to the electron-donating effects of the tert-amyl group. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be used in well-ventilated areas.
