General description
4-tert-Butylcatechol undergoes electrochemical trimerization via anodic oxidation and mechanism has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. It inhibits the activity of tyrosinase at concentrations higher than 1×10−3M. It undergoes oxidation with laccase to yield quinones which on reaction with dienes and oxidation afford naphthoquinones.
Application
4-tert-Butylcatechol was used in the synthesis of tungsten oxide nanoparticles by nonaqueous sol-gel process.

A procedure for calibrating a Clark-type oxygen electrode is described. This method is based on the oxidation of 4-tert-butylcatechol (TBC) by O2 catalyzed by tyrosinase, to yield 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone (TBCQ). This reaction consumes known amounts of oxygen in accordance with the
