Usage

Uses

Used in Food Industry:
BHT is used as a preservative in the food industry to prevent oxidative rancidity and extend the shelf life of products. It is commonly added to fats, oils, and other food products that are prone to oxidation.
Used in Cosmetics Industry:
BHT is used as an antioxidant in cosmetics to prevent the oxidation of ingredients and extend the shelf life of products. It is commonly added to creams, lotions, and other cosmetic products.
Used in Industrial Products:
BHT is used as an antioxidant in various industrial products, such as rubber, plastics, and lubricants, to prevent oxidative degradation and extend the useful life of these products.
However, there is some controversy surrounding the safety and potential health risks of BHT, as high doses have been linked to liver and kidney damage in animal studies, and it has been classified as a possible human carcinogen by some organizations. Despite this, BHT is still widely used in many consumer products.

Solvent-free synthesis of trisphenols as starting precursors for the synthesis of calix[4]arenes using sulfonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes

The condensation of phenol derivatives (12 substrates) with 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)phenols (BMP) (6 examples) is reported using sulfonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SO3H@MWCNTs) under solvent-free conditions as starting precursors for the synthesis of macrocyclic molecules of calix[4]arenes. The new protocol provides a series of trisphenol derivatives (21 examples) in high yields (up to 94%) and relatively short reaction times (15-120 min). Also, direct synthesis of calix[4]arenes from different trisphenols by use of the catalyst was reported (5 examples). Furthermore, the synthesized calix[4]arene was obtained using a one-pot method from simple and easily available starting materials such as p-cresol for the synthesis of 5,11,17,23-tetramethylcalix[4]arene-25,26,27,28-tetraol. Also, in this process SO3H@MWCNTs can be reused for seven runs with almost consistent efficiency and can be recovered by easy filtration.
