2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-nitrosophenol

Description:

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-nitrosophenol, with the CAS number 955-03-3, is an organic compound characterized by its nitrosophenol structure, which includes a nitroso group (-NO) attached to a phenolic ring. The presence of two tert-butyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions of the aromatic ring significantly enhances its lipophilicity and steric bulk, influencing its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is known for its stability under normal conditions, although it may decompose under extreme heat or in the presence of strong oxidizing agents. It exhibits antioxidant properties, making it of interest in various chemical applications, including as a stabilizer in polymers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, due to the presence of the nitroso group, it may participate in various chemical reactions, including reduction and coupling reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitroso compounds can be hazardous and potentially carcinogenic.
