2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-tert-butylphenyl)propane

Description:
2,2-Bis(4-hydroxy-3-tert-butylphenyl)propane, commonly known as Bisphenol A (BPA), is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features two phenolic groups linked by a propane bridge. This compound is a colorless solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. BPA is primarily used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, which are utilized in a variety of applications, including food containers, water bottles, and coatings. It exhibits thermal stability and resistance to impact, making it valuable in manufacturing durable materials. However, BPA is also known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, raising concerns regarding its safety in consumer products. Regulatory agencies have scrutinized its use, leading to restrictions in certain applications, particularly those involving food contact. Overall, while BPA is an important industrial chemical, its potential health effects have prompted ongoing research and debate regarding its safety and alternatives.
