Description

2-Amino-4-t-butylphenol is a basic chemical with a two carbon chain. It has a binding constant of 1.0 × 10 M, which is relatively weak compared to other amines. The nmr spectrum for 2-amino-4-t-butylphenol is shown below.

Industrial chemicals are used in the production of plastics, dyes, and pharmaceuticals, among other things. In this case, 2-amino-4-t-butylphenol is used as an intermediate in the production of dopamine by reducing the benzaldehyde group to an alkane group with hydrogen gas and formic acid. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that can be found in both plants and animals. The presence of 2 amino 4 t butylphenol enhances dopamine synthesis by increasing the reaction rate through nonpolar solvents and chloride ions (which increase the nucleophilicity). This reaction can be
