Isetshenziswa kakhulu njenge-antioxidant, i-ejenti yokuvikela izitshalo, i-synthetic resin, imithi, isibulala-zinambuzane esimaphakathi kanye nezinto ezingavuthiwe zokunambitheka kanye nephunga.

I-p-tert-butylcatechol iwumkhiqizo wamakhemikhali omuhle obalulekile onezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo zokusebenza.Ukuhlanganiswa kwayo ngokuvamile kusekelwe endleleni ye-alkylation ye-catechol.Ngokocwaningo lwezincwadi, indlela ye-alkylation yokuhlanganiswa kwe-p-tert-butylcatechol inesikhathi eside sokusabela, isidingo esikhulu samandla, ukugqwala okukhulu kwemishini, kanye nokungcoliswa kwemvelo okubangelwa inqubo yokuhlukaniswa komkhiqizo.Lezi zici azihlangabezani nezidingo zokukhiqizwa kwezimboni kanye namakhemikhali aluhlaza.I-hydroxylation yama-phenols ane-hydrogen peroxide inezimo zokusabela ezithambile, izinto zokusetshenziswa ezilula futhi ezingabizi, kanye nobungane obuphezulu bemvelo, obuhlangabezana nezidingo zamakhemikhali aluhlaza.Phakathi kwazo, inqubo ye-hydroxylation ye-phenol yenziwe ngezimboni, futhi isifundo sethiyori se-benzene hydroxylation reaction sibuye savuthwa.Nokho, i-hydroxylation eqondile ye-p-tert-butylphenol ene-hydrogen peroxide ukuze kulungiswe i-p-tert-butylcatechol kuye kwabikwa ngokungavamile uma kuqhathaniswa.
