p-tert-Butyl catechol is specially prepared by reacting
the impure catechol fraction with tertiary butyl alcohol.
It is used for its various properties (inhibitor of
polymerization and antioxidizing agent) in the manufacture
of rubber, plastics, and paints, in the preparation
of petrolatum products, and as an antioxidant in
oils. It may induce vitiligo. | [InChIKey]

Para-tertiary butyl catechol is specially prepared by
reacting the impure catechol fraction with tertiary
butyl alcohol. Used for its various properties (inhibition
of polymerization and as an antioxidizing agent)
in the manufacture of rubber, plastics and paints, in
the preparation of petrolatum products, and as an
antioxidant in oils, it may induce vitiligo. | [General Description]
4-tert-Butylcatechol,in the presence of O2 catalyzed by tyrosinase, yields 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone. Electrochemical oxidation of 4-tert-Butylcatechol in the presence of 4-hydroxycoumarin as nucleophile has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. It undergoes electrochemical trimerization via anodic oxidation and mechanism of trimerization has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. | [Flammability and Explosibility]

Distil it in a vacuum, then recrystallise it from pentane or pet ether (or *C6H6). [Beilstein |
