Description

p-tert-butylphenol is in public use since the 1930s. It is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of varnish and lacquer resin. It has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. There is an abundant literature dealing with the well-established sensitization and depigmentation (vitiligo) properties of p-tert-butylphenol.
