Application

3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol can be used as a reactant to synthesize:      
  • 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(dodecylselanylmethyl)phenol and bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) selenide by reacting with dodecaneselenolate and sodium selenide.      
  • Monomeric antioxidant by reacting with imidazole and N-[4-(chlorocarbonyl)phenyl]maleimide.     
  • Sulfur-containing butylated hydroxytoluene derivatives by reacting with aryl/alky dithiols.      
  • 3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde by oxidation reaction using stabilized IBX.

The effect of commonly used food antioxidants on recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha (rTNF-alpha)-induced cytotoxicity, growth enhancement and adhesion has been evaluated. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and 4-hydroxymethyl-2,6-di-t-butylphenol (HBP) were the only two of nine antioxidants that completely inhibited rTNF-alpha-induced cytotoxicity
