Participants

Reaction Steps

34.9 g of the thus-obtained 2,6-bis(3'-methyl-4'-hydroxybenzyl)-p-cresol, and 5.7 g of potassium hydroxide were dissolved in 300 ml of methanol/water (4/6), and 81 g of aqueous 37% solution of formalin were added thereto. Afterwards, these were reacted at 40° C. for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with 500 ml of water and neutralized with acetic acid. The pale yellow solid thus precipitated was taken out by filtration and washed with water to obtain 35 g of 2,6-bis(3'-methyl-4'-hydroxy-5'-hydroxymethylbenzyl)-p-cresol.
