2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, also known as antioxidant 703, is mainly used as an antioxidant in preparing rubber, synthetic resin, gasoline, and oil.
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol (BHT) is a hindered phenolic compound used as an antioxidant to stabilize lubricating oils. It is also used in organic synthesis. When heated in the presence of BHT, ynamide undergoes a [3 + 2] cycloaddition with an intramolecular 1,2-shift to form a fused pyrrole.
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
Formaldehyde and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol can be used as starting materials to prepare 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol.
