Reaction Steps

The ditalow amine salt of 4-hydroxy -3, 5-di-tert-butyldithiobenzoic acid was prepared as follows: 2,6-di-tert-butyl phenol (20.6 g) was dissolved in dimethylsulphoxide (60 cm3). To this well stirred solution under nitrogen was added KOH (5.6 g) dissolved in the minimum amount of water. After the addition was completed, CS2 (7.6 g) was run in maintaining the temperature between 20-25° C. The mixture was maintained at this temperature for one hour, at 60° C. for two hours and then cooled and poured into water (250 cm3). After acidification (10% HCl), extraction into diethylether and drying over Na2SO4 the product was isolated by roto-evaporation (calculated for C15H22OS2, C=63.83 wt. % and H=7.80 wt. %; found C=63.65 wt. % and H=7.86 wt. %).
