:4,6-Di-tert-butylpyrogallol
Description:
4,6-Di-tert-butylpyrogallol, with the CAS number 3934-77-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenolic antioxidants. It is characterized by the presence of two tert-butyl groups attached to the pyrogallol structure, which consists of a benzene ring with three hydroxyl groups at the 1, 2, and 3 positions. This unique arrangement enhances its antioxidant properties, making it effective in preventing oxidative degradation in various applications, including plastics, rubber, and food products. The compound is typically a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents. Its antioxidant activity is attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals and chelate metal ions, which can catalyze oxidative reactions. Additionally, 4,6-Di-tert-butylpyrogallol is known for its thermal stability and low volatility, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. However, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
