4ꢀ(3ꢀBromopropꢀ1ꢀyl)ꢀ2,6ꢀdicyclohexylphenol (4b). A mixꢀ
ture of alcohol 3b (20 g, 63.2 mmol) and 40.5% aq. HBr (55 mL,
0.38 mol) was refluxed for 8 h with distillation of azeotrope,
then it was cooled down and extracted with toluene
(3×(10—15) mL). The extract was washed with water, dried
with Na2SO4, the solvent was evaporated. The residue was disꢀ
tilled in vacuo to obtain bromo derivative 4b (16.9 g, 70%).
4ꢀ(3ꢀBromopropꢀ1ꢀyl)ꢀ2ꢀtertꢀbutylꢀ6ꢀmethylphenol (4е). Alꢀ
cohol 3e (8.5 g, 38 mmol) and DMF (3.6 mL, 46 mmol) were
dissolved in toluene (40 mL), then PBr3 (2 mL, 21 mmol) was
added dropwise at 40—50 °C and the mixture was stirred for 2 h
at 80 °C. Then the reaction mixture was cooled down to 60 °C,
water (10 mL) was added and this was heated with stirring for
0.5 h at 80 °C. Then it was cooled down and extracted with
toluene. The extract was washed with water, dried with Na2SO4,
the solvent was evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from
light petroleum to give bromo derivative 4e (8.4 g, 77%).
Bromo derivatives 4c,f, were obtained similarly by the reacꢀ
tion of alcohols 3c,f with HBr, bromo derivative 4d, by the
reaction of alcohol 3а with HBr. Bromides 4а,g were obtained
similarly to 4e.
(2×50 mL), then neutralized with HCl, washed with water, dried
with Na2SO4, the solvent was evaporated. The residue was disꢀ
tilled in vacuo to give compound 4h (37.2 g, 50%).
1ꢀAllyloxyꢀ2,4ꢀdiꢀtertꢀbutylbenzene (5i). 2,4ꢀDiꢀtertꢀbutylꢀ
phenol (50 g, 0.24 mol) and NaOH (19.2 g, 0.48 mol) were
dissolved in DMF (200 mL) under an inert gas atmosphere, then
3ꢀchloropropꢀ1ꢀene (78 mL, 0.96 mol) was added dropwise and
this was stirred for 4 h at 50 °C. The reaction mixture was cooled
down and extracted with benzene. The extract was washed with
water, dried with Na2SO4, the solvent was evaporated. The resiꢀ
due was distilled in vacuo to give ether 5i (57.4 g, 96%).
2ꢀAllylꢀ4,6ꢀdiꢀtertꢀbutylphenol (6i). Allyloxybenzene 5i
(57.4 g, 0.23 mol) was kept for 3 h at 220—230 °C under an inert
gas atmosphere, then it was distilled in vacuo to give allylpheꢀ
nol 6i (52.2 g, 91%).
3ꢀ(3,5ꢀDiꢀtertꢀbutylꢀ2ꢀhydroxyphenyl)propanꢀ1ꢀol (3i). Diꢀ
methyl sulfate (6 mL, 62 mmol) was added dropwise to a susꢀ
pension of allylphenol 6i (15.3 g, 62 mmol) and NaBH4 (2.81 g,
74.4 mmol) in THF (85 mL). After stiring for 0.5 h and cooling
down to 3—5 °С, water (24 mL) was added dropwise to this. The
mixture was heated up to 20 °С and 3 М aq. NaOH (22 mL,
66 mmol of NaOH) and 30% aq. Н2О2 (23.5 mL, 0.23 mol
of Н2О2) were added dropwise, this was stirred for 0.5 h at
20 °С, neutralized with hydrochloric acid and extracted with
toluene. The extract was washed with water, dried with Na2SO4,
the solvent was evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from
light petroleum to give alcohol 3i (10.5 g, 64%).
Allyloxybenzenes 5b,c,e,f, allylphenols 6b,c,e,f, and alcohols
3b,c,e,f were obtained similarly.
6ꢀ(3ꢀChloropropꢀ1ꢀyl)ꢀ2,4ꢀdi(tertꢀbutyl)phenol (4i). Thionyl
chloride (3.3 mL, 45.9 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture
of alcohol 3i (10 g, 37.8 mmol) and DMF (2.93 mL, 37.8 mmol)
at 50—60 °C, this was heated up to 80 °C and stirred at this
temperature for 3 h. After addition of water (20 mL) and benꢀ
zene (50 mL), this was stirred for another 0.5 h at 70—80 °C.
The organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried with
Na2SO4, the solvent was evaporated. The residue was distilled
in vacuo to give the target chloro derivative 4i (7.4 g, 69%).
The structure and composition of the synthesized compounds
were confirmed by elemental analysis and spectral data (Table 2).
4ꢀ(3ꢀBromopropꢀ1ꢀyl)ꢀ2ꢀcyclohexylphenol (4h). Cyclohexene
(12.8 mL, 126 mmol) was added dropwise to a mixture
of 4ꢀ(3ꢀbromopropꢀ1ꢀyl)phenol 4d (53.8 g, 0.25 mol) and
57% aq. perchloric acid (6 mL, 51 mmol of HClO4) at 120 °C
and this was stirred for 15 min. Then water (200 mL), benzene
(100 mL), and 10% aq. NaOH (50 mL) were sequentially added;
after thorough stirring, the organic and water phases were sepaꢀ
rated. The organic extract was washed with 10% aq. NaOH
