Descrição

4,6-Di-tert-butyl-2-methylphenol (BHT) is a phenolic antioxidant that is used in a variety of applications. It is also an additive for gasoline and diesel fuel to prevent the formation of engine deposits. BHT has been shown to be effective as a long-term stabilizer in biodiesel. In addition, it has been shown to inhibit the autoxidation of cyclohexene to cyclohexanone by acting as an antioxidant. BHT is soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and ethers, but insoluble in water. Crystal structures of BHT have revealed two distinct types of molecules with different geometries: one type is planar and the other type has a boat shape.
BHT can act as an antioxidant because it contains both electron donating groups (the tertiary butyl group) and electron withdrawing groups (the carbonyl group). The former donate electrons to free radicals, while
