反応手順

Potassium hydroxide flakes (2.52 g, 0.045 mole) were added to a clear solution of 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-mercaptophenol (3.57 g, 0.0165 mole) and ethyl-4-bromo-butyrate (3.23 g, 0.0165 mole) in acetone (10 ml). Water (20 ml) was added and the solution stirred for 1.5 hours, the solvent removed on a rotary evaporator and water (50 ml) added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl ether (3×75 ml). The aqueous layer was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl ether (2×50 ml), the combined organic extracts were washed with water (50 ml), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvents removed, leaving an oil, which was purified by chromatography on silica, recrystallized from ethyl ether/Skellysolve B, filtered and the product dried in vacuo at room temperature for 12 hours, m.p. ca. 112°-113.5° C.
