Waxaa inta badan loo isticmaalaa sida antioxidant-ka, wakiilka ilaalinta dhirta, resin synthetic, farmashiyaha, dhexdhexaadiyaha cayayaanka iyo alaabta ceeriin ee dhadhanka iyo udgoonka.

p-tert-butylcatechol waa shey kiimiko ah oo muhiim ah oo leh codsiyo kala duwan. Isku-dubaridkeedu guud ahaan wuxuu ku salaysan yahay habka alkylation ee catechol. Marka loo eego cilmi-baarista suugaanta, habka alkylation ee isku-dhafka p-tert-butylcatechol wuxuu leeyahay waqti falcelin dheer, baahida tamarta sare, daxalka halista ah ee qalabka, iyo wasakhowga deegaanka ee ay keento habka kala-soocidda alaabta. Tilmaamahani ma buuxinayaan shuruudaha wax soo saarka warshadaha iyo kimistariga cagaaran. Hydroxylation-ka phenols ee leh hydrogen peroxide waxay leedahay xaalado falcelin khafiif ah, alaab cayriin ah oo sahlan oo jaban, iyo saaxiibtinimo sare oo deegaanka ah, taas oo buuxisa shuruudaha kiimikada cagaaran. Waxaa ka mid ah, habka hydroxylation ee phenol waa la warshadeeyay, iyo daraasadda aragtida ee falcelinta benzene hydroxylation sidoo kale waa qaan. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, hydroxylation-ka tooska ah ee p-tert-butylphenol leh hydrogen peroxide si loogu diyaariyo p-tert-butylcatechol ayaa la soo sheegay si dhif ah.
