Pharmaceutical Intermediates 2-Amino-4-tert-butylphenol

2-Amino-4-tert-butylphenol CAS 1199-46-8 ​ is an aromatic organic compound featuring both an amine and a phenolic hydroxyl group on a benzene ring that is further substituted with a bulky tert-butyl group. It is a versatile sterically hindered aminophenol​ that serves as a key building block in specialty chemical synthesis. 2-Amino-4-tert-butylphenol is a sterically hindered, amphoteric building block​ that uniquely combines an electron-rich aromatic amine with a phenolic hydroxyl group, all anchored by a bulky tert-butyl substituent. This specific structure makes it an essential precursor for synthesizing high-performance, non-extractable stabilizers and vivid, lightfast colorants​ in demanding industrial applications.
