Chapter 17: 76P (page 845)

The antioxidants BHA and BHT are commonly used as food preservatives. Show how BHA and BHT can be made from phenol and hydroquinone.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The antioxidants are substances that have the ability to prevent certain cell damages and also protect from free radicals. They are present in fruits and vegetables.

Step by step solution

01

Antioxidants

The antioxidants are substances that have the ability to prevent certain cell damages and also protect from free radicals. They are present in fruits and vegetables.

02

Synthesis of BHA from phenol and hydroquinone

The synthesis of BHA from phenol is carried initially by nitration then alkylation reduction of nitro to an amino group by (Sn + HCl) then diazotization of the amino group to diazonium chloride and finally by the reaction with sodium methoxide BHA is formed.

03

Synthesis of BHT by phenol and hydroquinone

In this phenol undergo nitration followed by 2 times alkylation then undergo reduction with Sn and HCl which then undergo diazotization with sodium nitrite and HCl to form diazonium chloride followed by reaction with sodium ethoxide forms BHT as the desired product.

Triphenylmethanol is insoluble in water, but when it is treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, a bright yellow solution results. As this yellow solution is diluted with water, its color disappears and a precipitate of triphenylmethanol reappears. Suggest a structure for the bright yellow species, and explain this unusual behavior.
