3-tert-butylphenylethylether - Introduction
m-tert-butyl phenylether is an organic compound with the chemical formula (C6H5OCH(CH3)C(CH3)3), commonly abbreviated as TMB, also known as tert-butyl phenolethyl ether.
Nature:
M-tert-butyl phenyl ethyl ether is a colorless liquid with a special smell. It has a melting point of -117°C and a boiling point of 157°C at room temperature. It has low toxicity and moderate volatility. The material is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and chloroform.
Use:
m-tert-butyl phenyl ethyl ether is mainly used as a solvent and intermediate in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize chemicals such as drugs, fragrances and dyes. In addition, it can also be used as an additive in paints, coatings and adhesives, as well as the main component in liquid scintillators.
Preparation Method:
The preparation of tert-butyl phenyl ether is usually accomplished by an etherification reaction between p-phenol and tert-butyl bromide, which is usually carried out under alkaline conditions. Phenol and tert-butyl bromide are etherified in the presence of a basic catalyst to form tert-butyl phenyl ethyl ether.
Safety Information:
M-tert-butyl phenyl ethyl ether is irritating to skin and eyes, and direct contact should be avoided. When in use, should wear protective glasses and gloves. Avoid inhaling its vapor, so good ventilation conditions should be maintained during operation. The compound forms flammable vapors in the flammable range, avoiding exposure to open flames and high temperatures. If inhaled or ingested, seek medical advice immediately.
