Uses
2,4-Di-
tert-amylphenol is a phenolic compound, used for the laccase induced coupling reactions. It may be used in the synthesis of Cu-phthalocyanine-C
60.
General Description
The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation (or vaporization) of 2,4-di-
tert-amylphenol have been evaluated. Preparation of 2,4-di-
tert-amylphenol, via catalytic alkylation of phenol with trimethylethylene, is reported.
