Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 26.82 g (0.13 mol) of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, 17.44 g (0.13 mol) of 3,4-di-methylbenzaldehyde and 22.0 g (0.20 mol) of a 40% aqueous solution of dimethylamine is heated in a closed vessel at 140° C. for 10 hours, the internal pressure rising to 4 bar. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is poured into 100 ml of water and extracted twice using ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated using a vacuum rotary evaporator. Crystallisation of the residue from isopropanol yields 28.25 g (59%) of 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-[dimethylamino-(3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-methyl]-phenol, m.p. 82-85° C., (compound (201), Table 2). Molecular weight C25H37NO (367.58). Analysis, calculated: C 81.69; H 10.15; N 3.81%. Analysis, found: C 81.78; H 10.05; N 3.80%. 1HNMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, ppm): 1.18 (s, 9H); 1.43 (s, 9H); 221 (s, 6H); 2.24 (s, 6H); 4.27 (s, 1H); 6.74 (d, 1H); 7.11 (m, 4H); 12.43 (s, 1H).
