4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)benzeneethanol

Description:

4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)benzeneethanol, also known as tert-butylphenol, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure with a tert-butyl group attached to the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the bulky tert-butyl group. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for hydrogen bonding. This compound is primarily used in the production of antioxidants, surfactants, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals. It exhibits moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Additionally, it is important to consider its environmental impact, as it may be harmful to aquatic life. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
