Application

2-Amino-4-tert-butylphenol can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • 4-tert-butyl-2-[(pyridylmethylene)amino]phenol intermediates, which are used to synthesize biologically important 2-(pyridyl)benzoxazole derivatives.
  • Prolinamide phenols, as efficient hydrophobic organocatalysts for direct asymmetric aldol reaction aldehydes and ketones in water.
  • N-(2-hydroxy-4-tert-butylphenyl)-acetamide, a key intermediate to prepare uranylsalophene derivatives which can be used as selective receptors in anion sensitive membrane sensors.
  • Poly(2-amino-4-tert-butylphenol) [poly(2A-4TBP)] by electrochemical or chemical oxidative polymerization reaction.
