CAS # : 576-26-1 | [Uses]
Intermediate for Plastics, Agrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and is used as a solvent. | [Uses]
Similar to other xylenol compounds, 2,6-dimethylphenol is used in the synthesis of anti-oxidant compounds due to the phenol moiety in the structure. In addition, this compound is used as a a reactant
in the synthesis of polyphenylene ether polymers. | [Application]
2,6-dimethylphenol is generally applied in industry as a monomer in polymerization reaction. For the production of polyphenylene ether resins, polyester and polyether resins. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 2,6-Dimethylphenol is a hydroxytoluene. | [Preparation]
From coal tar oil or coal hydrogenation. | [Aroma threshold values]
Detection: 400 ppb | [Flammability and Explosibility]
