Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 13710012, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-mercaptophenol (3.00 g, 12.60 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added cyclohexanone (1.40 mL, 13.80 mmol) and a catalytic amount of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The mixture was stirred at a room temperature for 2 hours and then heated under reflux for one hour. The mixture was allowed to cool. Thereafter, the generated precipitate was separated by a filtration and dried to synthesize objective bis(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)cyclohexane (yield 2.50 g and 71%).
