General Description
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadienone (BHT-OOH) is a metabolite of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) with notable radical-scavenging activity. Compared to BHT, BHT-OOH exhibits a lower stoichiometric factor (n = 0.1–0.3) but a higher inhibition rate constant (kinh = 0.7–1.9 × 104 M?1 s?1), indicating its efficiency in suppressing radical-mediated polymerization reactions. While less effective than BHT in terms of radical quenching capacity (n value), BHT-OOH demonstrates superior reactivity toward peroxyl radicals compared to the parent compound. Its activity varies depending on the radical initiation system, suggesting context-dependent antioxidant behavior.
