Reaction Steps

S-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) thiomethacrylate was prepared as follows: Methacryloyl chloride (8.65 grams) was added dropwise over 1 hour at 24° to 28° C. to a solution of 16.7 grams of 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl mercaptan and 13.4 grams of triethylamine in 75 milliliters of tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature and was then poured into 400 milliliters of water. The yellow oil which precipitated was separated by extraction with hexane. Evaporation of the hexane left 19.9 grams of a pale yellow oil.
