Butylated Hydroxytoluene USP NF Grade Specifications
C15H24O --- 220.35
Phenol, 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-.
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol CAS 128-37-0]
Butylated Hydroxytoluene contains not less than 99.0 percent of C15H24O.
Identification: To 10 mL of a solution in methanol (1 in 100,000) add 10 mL of water, 2 mL of sodium nitrite solution (3 in 1000), and 5 mL of dianisidine dihydrochloride solution (1 in 500), prepared by dissolving 200 mg of dianisidine dihydrochloride in a mixture of 40 mL of methanol and 60 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid: an orange-red color develops within 3 minutes. Add 5 mL of chloroform, and shake: the chloroform layer exhibits a purple or magenta color, which fades when exposed to light.
Congealing temperature: not lower than 69.2, corresponding to not less than 99.0% of C15H24O.
Residue on ignition: Transfer about 50 g, accurately weighed, to a tared crucible, ignite until thoroughly charred, and cool. Moisten the ash with 1 mL of sulfuric acid, and complete the ignition by heating at 800C ± 25C for 15-minute periods to constant weight: the limit is 0.002%.
Heavy metals: 0.001%.

Heat is generated by the acid-base reaction between phenols and bases.
Phenols are sulfonated very readily (for example, by concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature), these reactions generate heat.
Phenols are nitrated very rapidly, even by dilute nitric acid.
Nitrated phenols often explode when heated. Many of them form metal salts that tend toward detonation by rather mild shock.
Segregate from oleum, nitric acid and chlorosulfonic acid.
