Isetyenziswa kakhulu njenge-antioxidant, i-agent yokukhusela izityalo, i-synthetic resin, i-pharmaceutical, i-pesticide ephakathi kunye ne-raw material yencasa kunye nevumba.

I-p-tert-butylcatechol yimveliso ebalulekileyo yeekhemikhali ezinoluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo. I-synthesis yayo ngokuqhelekileyo isekelwe kwindlela ye-alkylation ye-catechol. Ngokophando loncwadi, indlela ye-alkylation yokudityaniswa kwe-p-tert-butylcatechol inexesha elide lokuphendula, imfuno ephezulu yamandla, ukubola okukhulu kwezixhobo, kunye nongcoliseko lwendalo olubangelwa yinkqubo yokwahlulwa kwemveliso. Ezi mpawu azihambelani neemfuno zemveliso yoshishino kunye nekhemistri eluhlaza. I-hydroxylation ye-phenols ene-hydrogen peroxide ineemeko zokusabela kancinci, izinto ezilula kunye nezingabizi kakhulu, kunye nobuhlobo obuphezulu bendalo, obuhlangabezana neemfuno zekhemistri eluhlaza. Phakathi kwabo, inkqubo ye-hydroxylation ye-phenol iye yaphuculwa, kwaye isifundo sethiyori ye-benzene hydroxylation reaction nayo ivuthiwe. Nangona kunjalo, i-hydroxylation ethe ngqo ye-p-tert-butylphenol kunye ne-hydrogen peroxide ukulungiselela i-p-tert-butylcatechol kuye kwabikwa ngokungaqhelekanga.
