Procedure

To a stirred solution of 28.6 g of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-mercaptophenol and 9.74 g of 37% aqueous formaldehyde in 100 ml of methyl alcohol was added several drops of a 10 M potassium hydroxide solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 13 hours and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from petroleum ether to give a white solid, m.p. 79°-82° C.
