(3). Formic acid was added to a solution of 0.137 g
(0.5 mmol) of compound 2 and 0.103 g (0.5 mmol) of
2,4-di-tert-butylphenol in 2 mL of CHCl3, and the
mixture was heated for 3.5 h under reflux with
vigorous stirring. By the end of the reaction the
mixture was poured in 10 mL of CHCl3, the organic
phase was washed with water (3 × 15 mL) to remove
acid, dried with Na2SO4, solvent was removed at a
reduced pressure. The reaction product was isolated
by precipitating from cold pentane. Yield 0.123 g

b. Formic acid (3 mL) and 0.095 g (0.7 mmol) of
AcONa·3H2O were added to a solution of compound 1
and 0.105 g (0.35 mmol) of 4-(bromomethyl)-2,6-di-
tert-butylphenol in 2 mL of CHCl3. The mixture was
heated for 3.5 h under reflux with vigorous stirring.
Further processing and isolation of the reaction
product was carried out as in the experiment a. Yield

compound 3 using the 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. The
fraction containing the main component was isolated
by column chromatography (eluent petroleum ether–

from cold pentane. After removing the solvent from
mother liquor the residue contained additionally about
