4-tert-Butyl-2-methylphenol

Description:

4-tert-Butyl-2-methylphenol, also known as BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure. It features a tert-butyl group and a methyl group attached to a benzene ring, which contributes to its antioxidant properties. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with a faint aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. BHT is widely used as a food preservative and antioxidant in various products, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and plastics, due to its ability to inhibit the oxidation of fats and oils, thereby extending shelf life. Additionally, it has applications in the rubber and petroleum industries. While generally recognized as safe in low concentrations, excessive exposure may lead to health concerns, prompting regulatory scrutiny. Its chemical stability and effectiveness as an antioxidant make it a valuable compound in both industrial and consumer products.
