2-(tert-butyl)toluene (CAS 5380-61-4, C11H16) is a specialized alkylated aromatic intermediate produced via Friedel-Crafts alkylation of toluene with isobutylene. It serves as a critical building block for high-performance polymers and fine chemical synthesis.
Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Use explosion-proof equipment due to flammability risks. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves during handling.
