2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-nitrophenol

Description:

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-nitrophenol, commonly referred to as DTBNP, is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure, featuring two tert-butyl groups and a nitro group attached to the aromatic ring. It is a yellow crystalline solid at room temperature and is known for its stability and resistance to oxidation. The presence of the bulky tert-butyl groups imparts significant steric hindrance, which contributes to its low reactivity compared to other phenolic compounds. DTBNP exhibits antioxidant properties, making it useful in various industrial applications, particularly in the stabilization of polymers and plastics against thermal degradation. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential environmental impact, as it can persist in the environment and may pose risks to aquatic life. The compound is typically soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Safety precautions are advised when handling DTBNP, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes and should be managed in accordance with appropriate safety guidelines.

2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-Nitrobenzenol

CAS: 728-40-5

2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-Nitrobenzenol is a chemical that is used as a reference standard for the gravimetric determination of sodium. It has been shown to have low toxicity in animals and environmental monitoring studies, but can be hazardous if ingested by humans. The LD50 (lethal dose) for 2,6-di(tert-butyl)-4-nitrobenzenol in Sprague Dawley rats is greater than 10 g/kg body weight. This chemical also has the potential to react with pyrimidine nucleosides and organic chemicals such as methylene chloride or urea nitrogen.
