Nws yog tsuas yog siv los ua antioxidant, nroj tsuag tiv thaiv tus neeg sawv cev, hluavtaws cob, tshuaj, tshuaj tua kab nruab nrab thiab raw khoom ntawm tsw thiab tshuaj tsw qab.

p-tert-butylcatechol yog ib qho tseem ceeb ntawm cov khoom siv tshuaj zoo nrog ntau yam kev siv. Nws cov synthesis feem ntau yog raws li txoj kev alkylation ntawm catechol. Raws li kev tshawb fawb cov ntaub ntawv, alkylation txoj kev rau cov synthesis ntawm p-tert-butylcatechol muaj lub sij hawm ntev cov tshuaj tiv thaiv, siab zog thov, loj corrosion ntawm cov khoom, thiab ib puag ncig muaj kuab paug los ntawm cov khoom sib cais txheej txheem. Cov yam ntxwv no tsis ua tau raws li qhov yuav tsum tau muaj ntawm kev tsim khoom thiab tshuaj ntsuab ntsuab. Lub hydroxylation ntawm phenols nrog hydrogen peroxide muaj cov tshuaj tiv thaiv me me, cov khoom siv yooj yim thiab pheej yig, thiab kev ua siab zoo ib puag ncig, uas ua tau raws li cov kev cai ntawm ntsuab chemistry. Ntawm lawv, cov txheej txheem hydroxylation ntawm phenol tau muaj kev lag luam, thiab kev kawm theoretical ntawm benzene hydroxylation cov tshuaj tiv thaiv kuj tseem paub tab. Txawm li cas los xij, qhov ncaj qha hydroxylation ntawm p-tert-butylphenol nrog hydrogen peroxide los npaj p-tert-butylcatechol tau raug tshaj tawm tsis tshua muaj.
