98-54-4 Usage
Description
Para-tertiary-butylphenol formaldehyde resin (PTBPF-
R) is a polycondensate of para-tertiary-butylphenol
and formaldehyde. Major occupational sources are
neoprene glues and adhesives in industry, in the
shoemaking and leather industry or in car production.
It is also used as a box preservative in box and
furniture manufacture, and in the production of
casting moulds, car-brake linings, insulated electrical
cables, adhesives, printing inks and paper laminates.
Para-tertiary-butyl-phenol is the sensitizer.
Chemical Properties
4-tert-Butylphenol is a white to pale yellow crystalline solid at room temperature and is sold in solid form as flakes or briquettes. 4-tert-butylphenol is employed in coating products, polymers, adhesives, sealants and for the synthesis of other substances.
The major use is as a monomer in chemical synthesis, e.g. for the production of polycarbonate, phenolic resins, epoxy resins. PtBP is used as a chain terminator in the synthesis of polycarbonate polymers. The main uses of polycarbonate are in compact discs, DVD and CD Rom manufacture.

Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Phenols, such as 4-tert-Butylphenol, 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.
Hazard
Irritant to eyes and skin.
Fire Hazard
Combustible.
Contact allergens
Para-tert-butylphenol is used with formaldehyde to
produce the polycondensate p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde
resins (PTBPFR). Major occupational sources
are neoprene glues and adhesives in industry, in the
shoemaking and leather industries or in car production.
It is also used as a box preservative in box and furniture
manufacture and in the production of casting molds,
car brake linings, insulated electrical cables, adhesives,
printing inks, and paper laminates. Para-tertbutylphenol
seems to be the sensitizer
Safety Profile
Poison by
intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by
skin contact and ingestion. A skin and
severe eye irritant. Questionable carcinogen
with experimental neoplastigenic data.
Combustible when exposed to heat or
flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To
fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical.
When heated to decomposition it emits
acrid and irritating fumes. See also
PHENOL and other butyl phenols.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the phenol to constant melting point from pet ether (b 60-80o). It sublimes in vacuo. Also purify it via the benzoate, as for phenol. The salicylate ester [87-18-30] has m 63-64o (from aqueous EtOH, or EtOH). [Beilstein 6 IV 3296.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 98-54-4 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 9 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 98-54:
(4*9)+(3*8)+(2*5)+(1*4)=74
74 % 10 = 4
So 98-54-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Efficiency of sulfonic cation-exchange resins used in para-tert-butylphenol production: A comparison based on the kinetics of transalkylation in the phenol-tert-butylphenols system
Voronin,Nesterova,Strelchik,Zhuravskii
, p. 705 - 711 (2014)
The kinetics of transalkylation in the phenol-tert-butylphenols system in the presence of Amberlyst 36 Dry sulfonic cation-exchange resin has been investigated at 353-403 K in the tert-Bu/Ar = 0.10-0.55 mol/mol range. Kinetic characteristics of the o-tert-butylphenol + phenol ai p-tert-butylphenol + phenol (I) and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol + phenol ai 2p-tert-butylphenol (II) reactions have been determined. The chemical equilibrium in the presence of Amberlyst 36 Dry is reached much sooner than in the presence of KU-23 10/60, a cation-exchange resin used at present. On passing from Amberlyst 36 Dry to KU-23 10/60, the preexponential factor for reaction (I) increases by a factor of 10 and that for reaction (II) increases by a factor of 2000. Thermodynamic characteristics of reaction (I) between 353 and 523 K have been calculated from experimental data and data available from the literature. The thermodynamic characteristics of reaction (II) have been determined experimentally. The enthalpy and entropy of reaction (I) are equal to those of reaction (II). The difference between the equilibrium constants of these reactions is explained. It is recommended that Amberlyst 36 Dry, which proved more efficient than KU-23 10/60, be used in the industrial production of p-tert-butylphenol.

An efficient and mild catalytic deallylation method of aryl allyl ethers is developed, with commercially available Ni(COD)2 as catalyst precursor, simple substituted bipyridine as ligand and air-stable hydrosilanes. The process is compatible with a variety of functional groups and the desired phenol products can be obtained with excellent yields and selectivity. Besides, by detection or isolation of key intermediates, mechanism studies confirm that the deallylation undergoes η3-allylnickel intermediate pathway.
Aromatic C?H Hydroxylation Reactions with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Bulky Manganese Complexes
Masferrer-Rius, Eduard,Borrell, Margarida,Lutz, Martin,Costas, Miquel,Klein Gebbink, Robertus J. M.
, p. 3783 - 3795 (2021/03/09)
The oxidation of aromatic substrates to phenols with H2O2 as a benign oxidant remains an ongoing challenge in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we successfully achieved to catalyze aromatic C?H bond oxidations using a series of biologically inspired manganese catalysts in fluorinated alcohol solvents. While introduction of bulky substituents into the ligand structure of the catalyst favors aromatic C?H oxidations in alkylbenzenes, oxidation occurs at the benzylic position with ligands bearing electron-rich substituents. Therefore, the nature of the ligand is key in controlling the chemoselectivity of these Mn-catalyzed C?H oxidations. We show that introduction of bulky groups into the ligand prevents catalyst inhibition through phenolate-binding, consequently providing higher catalytic turnover numbers for phenol formation. Furthermore, employing halogenated carboxylic acids in the presence of bulky catalysts provides enhanced catalytic activities, which can be attributed to their low pKa values that reduces catalyst inhibition by phenolate protonation as well as to their electron-withdrawing character that makes the manganese oxo species a more electrophilic oxidant. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the new system can accomplish the oxidation of alkylbenzenes with the highest yields so far reported for homogeneous arene hydroxylation catalysts. Overall our data provide a proof-of-concept of how Mn(II)/H2O2/RCO2H oxidation systems are easily tunable by means of the solvent, carboxylic acid additive, and steric demand of the ligand. The chemo- and site-selectivity patterns of the current system, a negligible KIE, the observation of an NIH-shift, and the effectiveness of using tBuOOH as oxidant overall suggest that hydroxylation of aromatic C?H bonds proceeds through a metal-based mechanism, with no significant involvement of hydroxyl radicals, and via an arene oxide intermediate.
