4-Octyloxyphenol is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H16O2. It is used as an intermediate in the production of butyryl chloride. The optimal reaction temperature for this process is between 50 and 60°C. 4-Octyloxyphenol can be synthesized by reacting butyric acid with chloroform in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction produces a liquid crystal composition, which can be used to study the effect of different solvents and catalysts on the molecular order of liquid crystals. 4-Octyloxyphenol has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which are resistant to traditional antibiotics due to their cationic polymerization activity. When 4-octyloxyphenol reacts with malonic acid, it forms a molecule that is both hydrophilic and lipophilic, which
