Reaction Steps

Thus, to 2.06 grams of 2,4-ditertiary-butyl phenol was added 0.94 grams of phenol. Then 1% of meta-benzenedisulfonic acid was stirred in with warming and the final mixture was heated to 150°C. for 1.5 hours. Analysis gave 81.2% para-tertiary-butyl phenol. The remaining components were its isomers.
