4-Bromo-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol may be used in the following studies:

As a terminating comonomer phenol in the phase transfer catalyzed (PTC) polymerization of 4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenol.
Synthesis of 1,1-[1,10-decanediylbis(oxy)]bis[(2,6-ditertbutyl-4-bromo)benzene], a monomer, which forms poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivatives by reaction with 1,10-dibromodecane.
As a reactant in the synthesis of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-phenolnorbornene (N_ArOH), a norbornene comonomer bearing an antioxidant hindered phenol.
As a catalyst with methyl aluminium to form methylaluminum bis(4-bromo-2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide) (MABR) which may be utilized for the transformation of various epoxides to carbonyl compounds.
