Reaction Steps

To the solution obtained above after hydrogen gas evolution had ceased, 45 g (0.27 mol) of 2-methyl-6-t-butylphenol were added, and then heated under reduced pressure, thereby 15 g (0.47 mol) of methanol were removed from the reaction system. Then, 15.9 g (0.27 mol) of allyl alcohol and 13.5 g (0.15 mol) of toluene were added thereto. The resulting solution after the addition of toluene and allyl alcohol were transferred to a pressure container, and the atmosphere thereof was substituted with nitrogen gas, sealed and heated up to 210° C. and maintained at the same temperature for 4 hours. Thereafter the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and a sample thereof was analyzed by gas-chromatography. The desired product, 3-(3-t-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propanol was obtained in a yield of 82%.
