white crystals or crystalline powder
1,4-di-tert-butylbenzene (DTBB) is crystallized from several organic solvents to study the effect of solvents and crystallization conditions on its habit.
1,4-di-tert-butylbenzene (DTBB) is used as a crystallized form from several organic solvents to study the effect of solvents and crystallization conditions on its habit. It is also used as a solvent and an intermediate in the manufacture of other organic compounds for the finished products of such as curing agents, engineering plastics and cross-linking agents.
Crystallise it from Et2O or EtOH and dry it under vacuum over P2O5 at 55o. [Tanner et al. J Org Chem 52 2142 1987, Beilstein 5 II 344.]
