3D-FT172778 - 4-tert-butylpyrocatechol-85-solution-in-methanol | 98-29-3

4-tert-Butylpyrocatechol is a glycol ester that can be used in wastewater treatment. It can react with phosphorus pentoxide to form the corresponding phosphite ester, which is more soluble than the pyrocatechol. 4-tert-Butylpyrocatechol has been shown to have antioxidative properties and can inhibit lipid peroxidation in vitro. This compound also has a number of biochemically active properties, including enzyme activities and transfer reactions. The reaction between 4-tert-butylpyrocatechol and methyl ethyl ether was studied using an experimental model, preparative HPLC, and surface methodology. Kinetic studies were performed at different temperatures to determine the mechanism of the reaction.

4-tert-Butylcatechol is a polymerisation inhibitor, widely used in the storage of monomers such as styrene and butadiene
