CAS 576-26-1: 2,6-Dimethylphenol

Mexiletine impurity A CRS

Applications 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. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Carrillo, A. et al.: ANTEC. Soc. Plas. Eng., 69, 945 (2011); Guillen, M. et al.: J. Agri. Chem., 47, 3016 (1999); Guillen, M. et al.: J. Agri. Chem., 46, 1276 (1999);

2,6-Dimethylphenol is the most important member of the class of trifluoroacetic acids. It is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of -5°C, and is soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone. The polymerization reaction mechanism has been shown to involve coordination geometry of the metal cation and the anion. This reaction proceeds by oxidative addition followed by elimination of a methyl group from one of the carbon atoms. 2,6-Dimethylphenol reacts with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to form a surfactant that has been shown to be useful in organic solvents for washing purposes. Michaelis-Menten kinetics have been used to study this reaction for both pyridine and piperazine solutions. The rate constant for the oxidation of 2,6-dimethylphenol has been determined using kinetic data obtained from experiments conducted on cell nuclei preparations from Saccharomyces cere
