General Description

(4E)-4-[(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]-2-methylisoxazolidin-3-one, also known as BHT-Isobutene, is a chemical compound commonly used as an antioxidant in various products. It is derived from butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and isobutene, and is often included in food, cosmetics, and industrial applications to prevent the oxidation of fats and oils. BHT-Isobutene works by inhibiting the production of free radicals and can extend the shelf life of products it is added to. However, there is some controversy over its safety and potential health effects, and it is currently banned as a food additive in several countries.
