Phenol, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-, potassium salt, also known as potassium 2,6-bis(tert-butyl)-4-methylphenolate, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C15H23KO. It is a derivative of phenol, where two tert-butyl groups (1,1-dimethylethyl) are attached to the 2 and 6 positions, and a methyl group is attached to the 4 position. Phenol, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-, potassium salt is a potassium salt, indicating that it contains a potassium ion (K+) as a counterion. It is commonly used as an antioxidant and stabilizer in various industrial applications, particularly in the production of polymers and plastics, to prevent degradation caused by oxidation. The compound's structure provides it with strong electron-donating properties, which contribute to its effectiveness as an antioxidant.
The CAS Registry Mumber 1209-80-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 1,2,0 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 1209-80: (6*1)+(5*2)+(4*0)+(3*9)+(2*8)+(1*0)=59 59 % 10 = 9 So 1209-80-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
