Procedure

In 2500 cc of methanol was dissolved 2000 g of p-t-butylphenol. Separately, 520 g of sodium hydroxide was added to a mixed solvent comprising 2100 cc of methanol and 400 cc of water. Both the liquids were mixed together with stirring in a 10-liter separable flask, and sodium p-t-butylphenolate was formed with generation of heat. Methanol and water were removed by distillation, and the residue was dried in vacuum at 120° C. to isolate sodium p-t-butylphenolate in the form of a yellow powder having a melting point higher than 400° C.
