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-C₆₀.

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.

Poison by ingestion. An eye irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also PHENOL.
