The O-methylation of tert-alkylpyrocatecholes with dimethylsulfate leads to a mixture of substituted guaiacoles 6/7, 9/10 and veratroles 5, 6 which are separated by gas/liquid-chromatography for analytical purposes.It is also possible to prepare 4-tert-alkylsubstituted veratroles 5 with good yields in this way.On the other hand, the alkylation of veratrole was only successful with lower tert-alkanols or alkenes.Long-chained tert-alkanols fail in this reaction.The analytical and spectroscopical data of some new 4-tert-alkylveratroles 5a-g are given.
