Definition (ChEBI)

ChEBI: 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol is a member of the class of phenols that is 4-methylphenol substituted by tert-butyl groups at positions 2 and 6. It has a role as an antioxidant and a food additive. It derives from a phenol.NCI Thesaurus (NCIt): Butylated Hydroxytoluene is an organic chemical composed of 4-methylphenol modified with tert-butyl groups at positions 2 and 6. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) inhibits autoxidation of unsaturated organic compounds. BHT is used in food, cosmetics and industrial fluids to prevent oxidation and free radical formation.
