Reaction Steps

Five parts of 3,5-di-t-butyl-2-ethoxybenzoic acid was dissolved in 80 parts of methyl alcohol, followed by the addition of an aqueous solution of 1.1 parts of 96% potassium hydroxide in 10 parts of water. The resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. An aqueous solution of 2.6 parts of zinc sulfate heptahydrate in 10 parts of water was dropped into the resulting mixture over a period of 15 minutes. After the completion of the dropping, the obtained mixture was stirred at that temperature for 2 hours, cooled to a room temperature and filtered to recover a white crystalline precipitate. This precipitate was dispersed in 60 parts of water, washed therewith and filtered. The filter cake was dried to give 3.9 parts of a white crystal. The melting point thereof was 178° to 180° C.
