Reaktionsschritte

176 grams of 4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-benzyl alcohol was slurried in 350 ml of hexane. 240 cc of concentrated HCl was added to the slurry and stirred overnight. The two phases were allowed to separate and the hexane phase washed twice with water. The dried hexane was then extracted with magnesium sulfate and filtered. Rotofilm evaporation yielded 168 grams of product--a pungent yellow liquid.
