Chemical Structure



4-(tert-Butyl)-2-methylphenol, also known as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), is a common antioxidant and preservative used in various industries, including chemical synthesis. In chemical synthesis, BHT is utilized as a stabilizer to prevent degradation and oxidation of organic compounds. Its antioxidant properties help to extend the shelf life and maintain the quality of products. Additionally, BHT can act as a free radical scavenger, protecting sensitive materials from unwanted reactions. Its versatility and stability make it a valuable additive in the production of polymers, fuels, lubricants, and pharmaceuticals. With its ability to inhibit oxidation and enhance the longevity of chemical compounds, 4-(tert-Butyl)-2-methylphenol plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and performance of synthesized materials.
