Sodium Carbonate → N-(3,5-Bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(3,5-di tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide was prepared by adding a solution of 10 grams of acryloyl chloride in 50 milliliters of benzene to a mixture of 22.1 grams of 2,6-di tert.butyl-4-aminophenol, 6 grams of sodium carbonate, and 100 milliliters of benzene. The addition was accomplished in 25 minutes at 19° C. to 38° C. The mixture was stirred for 21/2 hours and the precipitate which had formed was filtered off, washed thoroughly with water, and dried. The yield was 12.5 grams and the product melted at 204° C. to 206° C.
