Participants

Reaction Steps

2.6-bis(1.1-Dimethylethyl)-4-mercaptophenol (0.73 g, 0.0031 mole) was added to freshly prepared sodium ethoxide [sodium (0.16 g, 0.007 mole)]in ethanol (10 ml). Once dissolved, the product of Example 4 (0.50 g, 0.0026 mole) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 90 minutes and poured into water (50 ml) containing 1N hydrochloric acid (25 ml). The mixture was extracted three times with 20 ml of diethyl ether, and the combined extracts were washed with water (20 ml), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to an oil with a rotary evaporator. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography. The structure was supported by NMR and elemental analysis.
