Reaction Steps

This compound is prepared by the procedure of Example 1 from 1.20 g (50 mmol) of sodium hydride, 8.21 g (50 mmol) of 2-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol, and 13.27 g (50 mmol) of N-n-dodecylmaleimide in tert-butyl alcohol. The residue is purified by preparative HPLC (8:2 heptane:ethyl acetate eluent) to give 4.70 g (22%) of a yellow wax.
