Description

2-sec-Butylphenol is an organic compound that is used as a solvent and has been used in the production of polymers. It can be synthesized from phenol and 2-butanol by cationic polymerization. The reaction mechanism for this process is similar to that of polyethylene, which involves the formation of monomers with reactive double bonds. Aromatase inhibition was observed in a kinetic study of 2-sec-butylphenol with human placental microsomes. This was attributed to the benzene ring substitution at position two on the phenyl group. The genotoxic potential of 2-sec-butylphenol has been investigated by exposing cells to different concentrations and observing DNA damage as measured by comet assay. Solubility data for 2-sec-butylphenol show that it is soluble up to 1g/L in water and up to 1g/L in acetone or ethanol. Low energy is required for polymer
