Product Information

• Name: 4,4'-Diisopropylbiphenyl
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,4'-Diisopropylbiphenyl is a monocarboxylic acid that belongs to the group of compounds known as dibenzofurans. It has an acidic nature and can be oxidized in vivo to form a variety of oxidation products. 4,4'-Diisopropylbiphenyl is used in vitro as an antioxidant for metals and polymers. In this context, it prevents oxidation by scavenging reactive oxygen radicals. The reaction takes place at room temperature and does not require activation energy. This compound also exhibits antioxidant effects on the skeleton, which may be due to steric interactions with the biphenyl ring system.
