Triethylamine (1.1 ml, 7.6 mmole) was added to a solution of 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-mercaptophenol (18.2 g, 76 mmole) in methanol (200 ml) and stirred for 30 minutes. Freshly distilled acrolein (12.8 g, 0.23 mole) was added and the solution stirred at room temperature. Chromatography on silica gave 3-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]thio]propanal. To a solution of the aldehyde (2.0 g, 6.8 mmole) in benzene (20 ml) under argon was added in one portion (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane (2.36 g, 6.8 mmole). The mixture was heated at reflux for 20 hours, allowed to stand at room temperature for three days, and then concentrated in vacuo to an oil. Chromatography on silica gel gave the title compound.
