반응 단계

12.4 g (0.113 mol) of hydroquinone, 49.8 g of MTBE (0.566 mol, 5 eq.) and 21.5 g (0.113 mol, 1 eq.) of 85% benzenesulphonic acid are introduced, under a stream of nitrogen, into a 250 ml reactor. The medium is then brought to 60° C. After maintaining these conditions for 5 hours, 25 ml of hexane are added and the reaction medium is cooled to 20° C. and then filtered in order to obtain 17.8 g of wet cake. This filter cake is placed in an oven (35° C.) under maximum vacuum for 12 h to give 14.6 g (58.3% yield for an 80% degree of conversion) of 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone.
