Product Information

• Name: 4-tert-Butylpyrocatechol - 85% solution in water
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-tert-Butylpyrocatechol is a reactive glycol ester that is used in wastewater treatment. The chemical has been shown to react with catechol, an organic compound with a phenolic ring and two hydroxy groups, in the presence of enzymes such as peroxidase. The reaction is important for the biodegradation of phenols found in wastewater. 4-tert-Butylpyrocatechol also has antioxidative properties, which may be due to its ability to inhibit transfer reactions between free radicals and other compounds. This product can be used as an experimental model for biological oxidation by means of preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It can be used as a surface methodology for methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and reaction mechanisms.
