Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Phenols, such as 4-tert-Amylphenol, do not behave as organic alcohols, as one might guess from the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group in their structure. Instead, they react as weak organic acids. Phenols and cresols are much weaker as acids than common carboxylic acids (phenol has Ka = 1.3 x 10^[-10]). These materials are incompatible with strong reducing substances such as hydrides, nitrides, alkali metals, and sulfides. Flammable gas (H2) is often generated, and the heat of the reaction may ignite the gas. Heat is also generated by the acid-base reaction between phenols and bases. Such heating may initiate polymerization of the organic compound. Phenols are sulfonated very readily (for example, by concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature). The reactions generate heat. Phenols are also nitrated very rapidly, even by dilute nitric acid. Nitrated phenols often explode when heated. Many of them form metal salts that tend toward detonation by rather mild shock. 4-tert-Amylphenol can react with oxidizing materials.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: 4-tert-Amylphenol is toxic by ingestion and can be absorbed through the skin. Hazardous fumes are evolved when 4-tert-Amylphenol is heated to decomposition.
Fire Hazard
4-tert-Amylphenol is combustible.
Flammability and Explosibility
Flammable
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion andskin contact. A skin and severe eye irritant. Combustible.When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes. Tofight fire, use dry chemical, water mist, CO2. Incompatiblewith oxidizing materials.
Purification Methods
Purify via its benzoate, as for phenol. After evaporating the solvent from its solution in ether, the material is recrystallised (from the melt) to a constant melting point. The benzoyl derivative has m 60o (from EtOH). [Berliner et al. J Am Chem Soc 76 507 1954, Huston et al. J Am Chem Soc 67 899 1945, Beilstein 6 H 548, 6 I 269, 6 II 506, 6 III 1965, 6 IV 3383.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 80-46-6 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 8 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 80-46:
(4*8)+(3*0)+(2*4)+(1*6)=46
46 % 10 = 6
So 80-46-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Oxidative degradation of toxic organic pollutants by water soluble nonheme iron(iv)-oxo complexes of polydentate nitrogen donor ligands
Jana, Rahul Dev,Munshi, Sandip,Paine, Tapan Kanti
, p. 5590 - 5597 (2021/05/04)
The ability of four mononuclear nonheme iron(iv)-oxo complexes supported by polydentate nitrogen donor ligands to degrade organic pollutants has been investigated. The water soluble iron(ii) complexes upon treatment with ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) in aqueous solution are converted into the corresponding iron(iv)-oxo complexes. The hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) ability of iron(iv)-oxo species has been exploited for the oxidation of halogenated phenols and other toxic pollutants with weak X-H (X = C, O, S,etc.) bonds. The iron-oxo oxidants can oxidize chloro- and fluorophenols with moderate to high yields under stoichiometric as well as catalytic conditions. Furthermore, these oxidants perform selective oxidative degradation of several persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as bisphenol A, nonylphenol, 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and gammaxene. This work demonstrates the utility of water soluble iron(iv)-oxo complexes as potential catalysts for the oxidative degradation of a wide range of toxic pollutants, and these oxidants could be considered as an alternative to conventional oxidation methods.
