Description

3,5-Di-(tert-butyl)benzoic acid (3,5-DTBA) is a polynuclear organic solvent that is used as an additive in polymers, plastics, and rubbers. 3,5-DTBA has potent antiproliferative effects on cells and can be used to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. This compound also stabilizes terephthalic acid from oxidation and prevents the formation of amide products. 3,5-DTBA is synthesized from benzoic acid by reacting with methylene chloride in the presence of a catalyst such as aluminum chloride or zinc chloride.
