Butylated hydroxyanisole Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	white or light yellow waxy solid with an
Usage	Butylated Hydroxyanisole is an antioxidant consisting of a mixture of two isomers of tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. Butylated Hydroxyanisole is used in food preservation as it antioxidant properties pre vent food from becoming rancid. Butylated Hydroxyanisoleas is also used in animal feed, petroleum products, and cosmetics.
General Description	White, beige or slightly yellow waxy solid with an aromatic odor and a slightly bitter burning taste.
Air & Water Reactions	Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile	Butylated hydroxyanisole degrades with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Exhibits antioxidant properties and synergism with acids, BHT, propyl gallate, hydroquinone, methionine, lecithin and thiodipropionic acid. Butylated hydroxyanisole exhibits antioxidant properties as a scavenger of free radicals. Butylated hydroxyanisole is incompatible with oxidizing agents and ferric salts.
Fire Hazard	Butylated hydroxyanisole is combustible.
