Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 9 was repeated, except 10.4g (0.1 mol) of perisobutyric acid in the form of about 20 weight% acetone solution was added over 30 minutes in place of perpropionic acid. Consequently, the conversion of para-tert.-octyl phenol was 13.2%, 4-tert.-octyl pyrocatechol was formed in a yield of 58% based on the converted octyl phenol and the conversion of perisobutyric acid was 100%.
