Hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻo ia e like me antioxidant, mea hoʻomalu mea kanu, resin synthetic, pharmaceutical, pesticide intermediate a me nā mea maka o ka ʻono a me ka ʻala.

ʻO ka p-tert-butylcatechol kahi huahana kemika maikaʻi nui me ka nui o nā noi. Hoʻokumu ʻia kona synthesis ma ke ʻano alkylation o catechol. Wahi a ka noiʻi moʻokalaleo, ʻo ke ala alkylation no ka synthesis o p-tert-butylcatechol he lōʻihi ka manawa pane, koi ikaika nui, ʻinoʻino o nā mea hana, a me ka pollution kaiapuni ma muli o ke kaʻina hoʻokaʻawale huahana. ʻAʻole kūpono kēia mau hiʻohiʻona i nā koi o ka hana ʻenehana a me ka kemika ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻO ka hydroxylation o nā phenols me ka hydrogen peroxide he mau ʻano hoʻohālikelike haʻahaʻa, maʻalahi a maʻalahi nā kumu waiwai, a me ke aloha kaiapuni kiʻekiʻe, e kū ana i nā koi o ka kemika ʻōmaʻomaʻo. I waena o lākou, ua hana ʻia ke kaʻina hana hydroxylation o ka phenol, a ʻo ke aʻo ʻana o ka ʻike ʻana o ka benzene hydroxylation reaction ua oʻo loa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hydroxylation pololei o ka p-tert-butylphenol me ka hydrogen peroxide e hoʻomākaukau ai i ka p-tert-butylcatechol ua hōʻike ʻole ʻia.
