Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.2 g of lithium amide and in the course of 5 hours 38 g of allyl alcohol are added at 150° C. under nitrogen to 146 g of 3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionic acid methyl ester. After completion of the addition, stirring is maintained at 150° C. for a further 10 hours. The brownish reaction mixture is cooled to about 100° C., and 150 ml of toluene, 0.5 g of concentrated acetic acid and 10 g of "Celite Hyflow Supercel" (product of Johns Manville Corp., USA) are added. There is thus obtained, after filtration and then removal of the solvent in vacuo, the title compound in crystalline form, m.p. about 40° C.
