Reaction Steps

The reaction was similarly carried out as Example 10 except that into a mixture of 32 g of p-cresol, 4 g of hypophosphorous acid and 6 g of α-chloropropionic acid was poured 36 g of styrene to give only 2-(α-methylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol, but not to detect other tert-butylated compounds.
