General description

3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol also known as 4-Hydroxymethyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol that is commonly used as an antioxidant in the preparation of PMA-type bifunctional polymers.

Application

3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol can be used as a reactant to synthesize:      
  • 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(dodecylselanylmethyl)phenol and bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) selenide by reacting with dodecaneselenolate and sodium selenide.      
  • Monomeric antioxidant by reacting with imidazole and N-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)phenyl]maleimide.     
  • Sulfur-containing butylated hydroxytoluene derivatives by reacting with aryl/alky dithiols.      
  • 3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde by oxidation reaction using stabilized IBX.
