2-tert-Butyl-6-methylphenol → HCID 19003384, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

18 g (110 mmol) of 2-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol are reacted with 10.7 g (50 mmol) of decanedioic acid chloride in the presence of 27.5 g (200 mmol) of aluminium chloride by the method described in Example 2 to give the corresponding 1,10-di(3'-tert-butyl-5'-methyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)-1,10-decanedione. 19.2 g (78% of theory) of the product of melting point 165°-168° C. are obtained. The vibration band of the CO groups in the infra-red spectrum appears at 1660 cm-1.
