6PPD

6PPD is an organic chemical used as an antiozonant in rubber tires. It is one of several p-phenylenediamine (PPD) additives used to protect various rubber materials.[1] 6PPD is prepared by reductive amination of methyl isobutyl ketone with 4-aminodiphenylamine.[2]

Infobox references

A 2020 study found that 6PPD released from vehicle tires gets converted by ozone to a previously unknown quinone analog 6PPD-quinone:

and that 6PPD-quinone is the toxic chemical in storm water runoff responsible for killing coho salmon before they spawn in freshwater streams.[3][4][5]

The 6PPD-quinone compound has been prepared in quantity for scientific study by chemists at the University of California.[6]
