2-(2-Methylpropyl)benzene-1,4-diol, also known as 2-(sec-butyl)hydroquinone, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring a benzene ring with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups positioned at the 1 and 4 positions, making it a diol. The presence of a sec-butyl group at the 2-position of the benzene ring contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics and influences its solubility in various solvents. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate volatility. It is known for its antioxidant properties, often utilized in various industrial applications, including as a stabilizer in plastics and as a potential additive in food and cosmetic formulations. The compound's reactivity is primarily attributed to the hydroxyl groups, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and redox reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many phenolic compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential irritant effects.
