General Description

4-METHYL-2-(1-PHENYL-ETHYL)-PHENOL is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C15H16O. It is a phenolic compound with a molecular weight of 212.29 g/mol. This chemical is also known by the trade name Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and is commonly used as an antioxidant in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is a white crystalline powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. BHT is often added to products to prevent oxidation and extend shelf life by inhibiting the formation of free radicals. Additionally, it is used in some medications and personal care products for its antioxidant properties. However, there is some controversy surrounding the safety of BHT, and it is regulated in some countries due to potential health risks.

Catalytic synthesis of 4-methyl-2-(α-methyl benzyl) phenol over fe-al-mcm-41 for extraction-separation rubidium from brine

A new extractant 4-methyl-2-(α-methyl benzyl) phenol had been synthesized with styrene and p-cresol through the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. Fe-Al- MCM-41 which was used as molecular sieves catalyst for the synthesis of the extractant was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis method and then characterized by FT-IR, XRD, NH3-TPD and N2 adsorption isotherm. The catalytic synthesis conditions of 4- methyl-2-(α-methyl benzyl) phenol such as reaction time, temperature and catalyst dosage were investigated. The conversion of styrene was about 81.2%, the target product yield and selectivity can reach 74.6% and 95.7% respectively. The structure of the 4-methyl-2-(α-methyl benzyl) phenol was confirmed by 1H-NMR. At the same time, 4-methyl-2-(α-methyl benzyl) phenol was used as extractant to separate rubidium from brine of which the rate of potassium to rubidium is 10:1 (CK+=10.0g/L, CRb+=1.0g/L). The experiment results show that the extractant has a great extraction performance to rubidium, the extraction yields of rubidium and potassium can reach 81.1% and 9.4% respectively. The separation factor of Rb+/K+ can reach up to 41.4.
