反应详情

A mixture of 103.2 g (0.50 mol) of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol and 102.4 g (0.55 mol) of 4-hydroxymandelic acid monohydrate in 100 ml of acetic acid is refluxed for 24 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is then diluted with 140 ml of 50% aqueous acetic acid, cooled, and the precipitate formed is filtered off. The residue is washed with another 200 ml of 50% aqueous acetic acid and then dried, giving 95.9 g (57%) of 5,7-di-tert-butyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzofuran-2-one, melting point 187°-190° C. (compound (101), Table 1).
