Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

15g of 2-(1-phenyl-5-tetrazolylthio)-6-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-p-benzoquinone was added to 150ml of methanol and the mixture was cooled to 0°C while stirring. Then a solution of 4.5g of thiophenol in 25ml of methanol was added dropwise to this mixture. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 3 hours. The resulting crystals were separated by filtration and recrystallized from a solvent mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate (n-hexane/ethyl acetate = 5/1 by volume). Thus 7.5g of 2-(1-phenyl-5-tetrazolylthio)-3-phenylthio-6-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-hydroquinone having a melting point of 147°C was obtained.
