2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol is a phenolic compound that is used as an antioxidant in various industrial applications. It is a derivative of phenol, with two tert-butyl groups and one ethyl group attached to the aromatic ring. It has the ability to inhibit the oxidation of other molecules by scavenging free radicals and terminating the chain reaction of lipid peroxidation. In biochemistry, 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-ethylphenol is used to protect lipids and lipid-containing substances from oxidative damage. It has applications in the field of biochemistry, particularly in the study of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. Its ability to prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides may be a useful reagent in biochemical research.
