Introduction
4-Isopropylphenol.
Quality:
Appearance: Colorless or yellowish crystalline solid.
Smell: Has a special aromatic smell.
Solubility: soluble in ether and alcohol, slightly soluble in water.
Use:
Chemical experiments: used as solvents and intermediates in the synthesis of organic compounds.
Method:
4-Isopropylphenol can be prepared by the following two methods:
Isopropylphenyl acetone alcohol reduction method: 4-isopropylphenol is obtained by reducing isopropylphenyl acetone alcohol with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.
Polycondensation method of n-octyl phenol: 4-isopropylphenol is obtained by polycondensation reaction of n-octyl phenol and formaldehyde under acidic conditions, and then followed by subsequent treatment.
Safety Information:
4-Isopropylphenol is irritating and may have an irritating effect on the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, and should be avoided.
During use, care should be taken to avoid inhaling its dust or vapors, and appropriate protective equipment should be worn to ensure good ventilation.
