4-tert-butylphenol usage and synthesis

chemical properties	white crystalline powder
general description	crystals or practically white flakes. has a disinfectant-like odor. may float or sink in water. insoluble in water.
air & water reactions	insoluble in water.
reactivity profile	phenols, such as 4-tert-butylphenol, do not behave as organic alcohols, as one might guess from the presence of a hydroxyl (-oh) group in their structure. instead, they react as weak organic acids. phenols and cresols are much weaker as acids than common carboxylic acids (phenol has ka = 1.3 x 10^[-10]). these materials are incompatible with strong reducing substances such as hydrides, nitrides, alkali metals, and sulfides. flammable gas (h2) is often generated, and the heat of the reaction may ignite the gas. heat is also generated by the acid-base reaction between phenols and bases. such heating may initiate polymerization of the organic compound. phenols are sulfonated very readily (for example, by concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature). the reactions generate heat. phenols are also nitrated very rapidly, even by dilute nitric acid.
fire hazard	combustible.
