General description

4-tert-Butylcatechol,in the presence of O2 catalyzed by tyrosinase, yields 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone. Electrochemical oxidation of 4-tert-Butylcatechol in the presence of 4-hydroxycoumarin as nucleophile has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. It undergoes electrochemical trimerization via anodic oxidation and mechanism of trimerization has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry.

Application

  • Antioxidant source for radical reactions: Research identified 4-tert-Butylcatechol as a viable source of hydrogen atoms in radical reactions, specifically in deiodination processes, expanding its utility in synthetic organic chemistry (Povie et al., 2016).
