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, 0.015 mole) and ethyl-4-bromobutyrate (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. The organic layer was extracted with ethyl ether (3×75 ml). The aqueous layer was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl ether (2×50 ml), 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.
